Camillian Social Center Chiangrai’s (CSCC) is looking for individuals to volunteer at our disadvantaged and special needs children’s (children living with disabilities) home center in Thailand, and to be friends and teachers to our children. By bringing together our children of Thailand and volunteers from across the world, there is a learning opportunity for both. As both sides discover more about each other, we hope to create a world of greater understanding and compassion.

Work

CSCC needs people with all skills. No matter your experience, CSCC needs you. At the centre, volunteers divide their time between playing with and teaching the children and working on our international projects. The centre needs your help in English classes, and the children often seek tutoring for their homework, all tasks which volunteers take part in.

The CSCC volunteer program is an intensive learning experience. It provides you with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience working with a Catholic, non-profit and in myriad scenes of poverty. All volunteers participate on our international task to help to promote our organization. Once at the center, CSCC requires its volunteers to work eight hours a day on at-center and international tasks, six day a week. There is time to sightsee and tour the nation, but work is always the first priority. CSCC depends on its volunteers to function and to love the children.

Upon the completion of your term of service at the center, you will receive a CSCC Certificate of Graduation from our organization. The certificate will detail your work and experiences while at the center and grade your performance.

Mission Statement:

CSCC encourages understanding and caring between people of all nations and religions in order to better prepare the leaders of future generations.
