An at-risk youth in Cambodia deserves a safe place to thrive. Mission Dove Cambodia offers that space, nurturing 200 young lives through leadership and reading clubs, English and art classes, computer training, free counseling, and social awareness seminars. In our safe learning hub in Phnom Penh, youth find not just education but belonging, purpose, and the tools to heal, grow, and lead.
Many Cambodian youth experience stress from difficult family situations that often include domestic violence and abuse at home. Public schools are overcrowded, and youth from poorer families have few options for engaging in healthy activities with their peers. Boredom and the pain of family life can lead youth to experiment with substances and addictions. Safe spaces and opportunities for constructive activities are urgently needed to help youth overcome these challenges and thrive.
We build relationships with at-risk youth in our community and invite them to join leadership clubs, reading clubs, English and art classes. These small groups are a source of support and stability for these youth. In our clubs, youth grow in critical thinking and self-awareness and are mobilized to serve their communities. We provide safe places and relationships to process painful experiences, and youth can also receive free mental health counseling, building resilience and healing.
This project will empower 200 at-risk Cambodian youth, helping them develop leadership skills, emotional maturity, and critical thinking. By transforming their pain, they will break cycles of violence within families and communities, contributing to a more peaceful and just society.
