Join Our Building Projects
You don’t have to fund a house to volunteer
on our building projects
Want to give back by volunteering with VBC’s community-building projects?
Immerse yourself in Cambodian culture – 1 week – 2 weeks, or more; a real adventure. Work with our friendly English-speaking Cambodian builders alongside other like-minded volunteers from around the Globe. We build with the help of the wonderful local community, and it is a perfect opportunity to see and understand at first-hand, how Cambodians live and work.
Many individuals or small groups, who cannot fund a house, or who wish to volunteer in Cambodia for a week or more, join our team.
Please see the volunteer fees listed and contact us for more information.
Volunteer fees cover the cost of transporting you to and from the building site each day, your accommodation, tuk-tuk airport pickup, and 24-hour in-country support. The remainder of the volunteer fee will be used to support the project that you will work on.
Volunteer in Siem Reap
VBC and our friendly staff provide the perfect experience for anyone wishing to volunteer in Siem Reap.
Building volunteers spend half a day working on our building projects and have afternoons and weekends free to explore the town and its surrounds.
Most of our build sites are in rural areas around Siem Reap city. You will meet the family you are building a house for and many of the local villagers.
Volunteers at our school and community centre are immersed in its rural village setting. You will work with our Khmer teachers, and our Cambodian students all willing to learn, surrounded by leafy mango trees and rice fields.
Explore Siem Reap
Siem Reap, in Cambodia’s north, has many natural and historic gems worth visiting. The city is just seven kilometers from World Heritage-listed Angkor Wat and the Angkor Temple complex.
Siem Reap is situated at the northern tip of Tonle Sap, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia. The lake provides a livelihood for many Cambodians who depend on it for fishing and agriculture. You can visit floating villages, take a boat through the floating forest, and watch the sunset over the lake. There are also bike tours, waterfalls, art tours, and much more to do in your free time, with plenty of restaurants, bars, and entertainment available in the evenings.
Siem Reap is a great place to volunteer with so much diversity on offer.
