Program Description:
Women's Empowerment Internship in Cambodia (short-term)
Work on increasing gender equality awareness in Cambodia while teaching English.  Contribute toward United Nations Sustainable Development Goal, UN SDG #5, Gender Equality, by leading majority-female English classes, gender equality workshops, or research into the understanding of gender norms in the local community. When women’s earning power increases, it also benefits the economy as a whole, contributing to UN SDG #8, Decent Work and Economic Growth.

Program Focus
Teach English and promote women’s empowerment on this internship experience in Cambodia’s province of Siem Reap. In addition, you will be contributing to our core project of increasing access to English language education, which works towards UN SDG goal #4, Quality Education. This plays a significant role in increasing the local women’s access to education while improving their employment opportunities and quality of life.

You will also be contributing to UN SDG #17, Partnerships for the Goals, by working closely with our local partners to conduct English language lessons and gender equality work in the local community. Our program aims to sustainably equip these women with the necessary skills and tools to help reduce inequalities and increase education levels throughout the country in the long term. While working in collaboration with the local community you will gain valuable skills to develop yourself personally and professionally and improve your own future job prospects. This program all includes the GVI ILM Leadership Development certificate, designed to develop your leadership skills and put you a step above other candidates.

Location
Experience the Kingdom of Cambodia with its captivating cultural history and iconic temples and monuments. Siem Reap is a hive of activity, where medieval architecture abuts lively markets, diverse restaurants and riverside hangouts. Further out from the city you can enjoy the stunning natural landscapes, filled with lush greenery, glistening rice paddies and waving sugar palms. Local non-governmental organisations in Cambodia have made massive strides during the past two decades in uplifting their communities. In 2017, we were contacted by a number of these organisations who focus on sustainable development to ask if we would be able to provide the kind of support they need to make their objectives a reality. By joining GVI as an intern Cambodia you will take an active role in improving the educational and community initiatives in Siem Reap.

  • Contributing to gender equality in Cambodia.
