Help JWOC Change Lives

Young people aged 15-30 make up roughly 30% of Cambodia’s population, but many youth still lack the skills needed to be successful in the workplace. At JWOC, we believe that by partnering with youth and investing in their education, we can close this gap and help them fulfill their potential.

Real Impact in our Community

JWOC awards scholarships that enable gifted youth from low-income families to attend University in Siem Reap. We also give local high school students aged 15 to 18 the guidance they need to set and reach towards their future goals. A curriculum of English, Computer and Life Skills, Career Guidance, and Youth Leadership equips students with the knowledge and motivation to succeed.

Our History

In 2005, JWOC founders Brandon and Andrea Ross moved to Cambodia from the United States to set up a boutique hotel.
Observing the needs of the population, and the desire of travelers to provide support, they saw an opportunity to work as an intermediary between them. Years later JWOC has become more than they ever dreamed possible.  
Our History

How you can help!

 
Since its inception, over 200 students have graduated from JWOC’s Scholarship program.
These students have gone on to do amazing things, creating what we call the JWOC ‘ripple effect’; whereby one young person improves the lives of those around them.
