Thank you for the amazing contribution you have made to the youth of Cambodia! I am wondering how other young changemakers around the world can become involved in your project?
Youth Star Cambodia was founded in July 2005 by Eva Mysliwiec who felt strongly that with such a huge youth population, Cambodia’s young people could be a powerful resource for addressing Cambodia’s most pressing social issues. She also believed that service is a powerful way to build the next generation of Cambodian civic leaders and social entrepreneurs, and that doing so is critical to Cambodia’s future.
Youth Star Cambodia was registered as a Cambodian NGO with the Ministry of Interior in July 2005.
More than 200 volunteers have served in poor under-served rural communities full time for 9 to 12 months since Youth Star’s inception.
The focus of Youth Star’s service program is to place university graduates as volunteer leaders in marginalized communities for one year, where they act as facilitators, tutors, mentors, and role models to children and young people.
We currently work in marginalized communities in 4 provinces of Cambodia: Prey Veng, Kratie, Kompong Cham, and Kompong Thom.
