Rok Kern offers in-person workshops and online training for education staff, church and mission organisation leaders, non-government organisations, volunteering agencies and individuals.
These sessions will help participants understand global trends in family-based care and the institutionalisation of children, as well as ethical and responsible approaches to volunteering and poverty alleviation.
Capacity Building
Participants gain a deeper understanding of best practice in the fields of family-based care, volunteering, missions, and aid and development.
Skill Development
Participants receive practical support in developing frameworks that are focused on communicating ethically, short-term volunteering, fundraising and advocacy.
Networking and Forums
Join a wider network of people exploring these issues and learn with them through peer-discussions, resource sharing and online community.
Rok Kern is designed to be an integrated package where participants work with us to explore their personal responses to poverty, justice and calling over a 6-12 month period.
Benefits for Our Participants

Workshops are facilitated by local Cambodian practitioners and our long-term volunteers.
