CYA/LMTV03 Global Education Center Solidarités Jeunesses

PARTENAIRE

The Global Education Center (GEC), founded by Cambodian Youth Action (CYA) in 2015, is transforming the lives of children and teenagers in Svay Thom, Siem Reap. By offering free programs in English, computer literacy, library access, and skills training, GEC empowers over 150 students annually to achieve personal growth and academic success. Its impact is evident as former students return as teachers and staff, becoming role models for their peers and driving change within their community. Volunteers are the cornerstone of GEC’s achievements, bringing diverse knowledge, fostering leadership, and encouraging cultural exchange. Through their dedication, students gain essential skills to thrive in a globalized world, broaden their horizons, and aspire to higher education and meaningful careers. As GEC evolves with new computer courses, an enhanced library, and innovative workshops, we invite volunteers worldwide to be part of this impactful journey. Together, we can shape the next generation of leaders, bridging education with opportunity and inspiration for a brighter future.
