Get creative at the JWOC volunteer art class

On Sunday afternoons JWOC presents a great volunteer opportunity for those with a creative streak and time to give…

Sunday afternoons are special at Journeys Within Our Community — a day designed to the artist inside shine.

On Sundays, JWOC holds their art class for local students at 2.30pm — a no-pressure class where anyone is invited to come and play games, sing songs and participate in a simple and rewarding art projects. Basically it is an afternoon designed to channel the creative spirits of our eager young learners.

A favourite volunteer opportunity for our Journeys Within guests, these art classes present a great chance to integrate, even for a short period, with the local community.

Like art classes anywhere, the students are split up into groups where adult volunteers are tasked with helping the little ones with their scissor work or other tricky tasks while offering older students encouragement and an opportunity to practice their English.

A fun experience at any age, these art classes are a great way for traveling families to see JWOC’s projects in action.

Guests to the class also have a chance to meet with our scholarship students and gain a greater understanding about the work we do within the greater community.

For those looking to give back while on tour — or let their inner Picasso loose for an afternoon — the Sunday volunteer art class is the perfect addition to any  trip to Cambodia.
