“I slept and dreamt that life was joy.

I awoke and saw that life was service.

I acted and behold, service was joy”

-  Rabindranath Tagore

Volunteering is one of the best ways you can experience and better understand a foreign culture. With JWOC there are usually numerous ways volunteers can get that experience. We have people passing through who are just interested in spending a few days with us as well as long term volunteers who work with us for several months. Every summer we also host student groups from universities such as Oxford, WestPoint, and Loyola Marymount who each spend a month working on projects with us.

If you are interested in spending quality time working in Cambodia, Myanmar, or Vietnam (Laos volunteer opportunities coming soon!) on behalf of local communities then please fill out our Volunteer Application and email it to...

Please specificy the dates you are interested in volunteering, any skills you have which may be useful, and the project you would prefer to work with. The earlier you contact us the better we can plan for and maximize the time you spend with JWOC. We will contact you to provide you with more information and discuss opportunities available. Listed below are special skills and experience we are currently seeking in volunteers:
