Volunteer Expression of Interest

If you are interested in volunteering with us, please get in touch with us by providing us with some basic information for our initial consideration.

Volunteering with Us

We welcome volunteers from around the world to support KCCO (formerly BLCP) in various aspects of our work, particularly as teachers for its Education Program and as dentists in its Health Program.

Our volunteers join us because they wish to make a meaningful contribution to communities in need by using their talents and skills for a great purpose.

We do not operate as a volunteer tourist organisation or act as a volunteer placement company. We do not charge prospective volunteers any fees to engage with us nor do we require them to make any monetary contribution to promote our activities.

YourAid and KCCO are genuine non-profit charity organisations that exist solely to improve the wellbeing of the people, in particular the children of Cambodia.

Our dental clinics are now known amongst the dental community in many western countries. Since commencement of our Dental Program, over 100 dentists and dental assistants from several countries including Australia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, South Korea and Germany have volunteered in our clinics.

What We Expect from Volunteers

Volunteers interested in our Dental and Education programs are expected to have both formal qualifications and relevant experience. We are not a training or internship organisation, and placements are not intended for individuals seeking field experience or professional instruction. However, we do provide orientation on the work involved as a volunteer.

While we welcome volunteers, any engagement with us in this role would require volunteers to take into account the following considerations:

  • Volunteering should not be treated as part of a vacation or holiday experience;

  • A minimum commitment of one week is required (two weeks for Dental Program);

  • Accommodation will not be provided;

  • Any personal expenses, including food and transport are the responsibility of the volunteer and will not be reimbursed;

  • We do not assist with visa applications or dealings with the relevant Governmental authorities.

We encourage all prospective volunteers to review our Volunteers Guide Book here and our Volunteer Management Policy (upon request) which will be provided upon preliminary acceptance of your engagement.
