Volunteer in Cambodia

We are continually looking for farmhands and people to help us build systems. ​For a flat weekly or monthly fee to cover the program's expenses, Community First welcomes volunteers at its Sen Sok Campus in the villages of Northwestern Cambodia. With over ten years of experience in working with volunteers of all ages, our local team offers a unique experience for those wanting to both learn and help while living in an authentic rural community

Volunteers 18 years of age and older are invited to stay on-site at the farm school, where they will work and live for the duration of their stay. Working alongside our team, volunteers will learn a lot about aquaponics, life in a Cambodian village and so much more.

Our Sen Sok Campus offers volunteers their own communal house, traditionally built on stilts, a thatch roof (no air conditioning), and its own open-air kitchen with all amenities. Long-term volunteers have the option of joining the farm's daily communal meal, and they are guaranteed to help building at least one family system from end to end with our team. The experience of meeting and helping a family in Sen Sok is a truly transformative one and we look forward to sharing it!

Aside from the ongoing expansion of our aquaponic works in Sen Sok, we also have very specific needs. Here are volunteering positions that we urgently need to fill. Are you ready for an adventure?
