In 1997, the Foundation of Women and the Chiang Rai Community Development Office recruited and trained youth volunteers on the prevention of sexual abuse of children. At Center for Girls, we believe in the importance of empowering others to liberate themselves. As such, CFG utilizes a participatory, face-to-face approach to work with women, children, and community members on leadership training, life skills classes, and other educational programs. Together with schools, police, businesses, NGOs, and the village communities, CFG creates strong networks through which those at risk of exploitation and abuse can be identified, educated, and supported. We are committed to creating sustainable participatory projects that equip people in the surrounding communities with the necessary life skills to become independent leaders who strive towards human rights for all, regardless of gender, age, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, or socioeconomic status.
Volunteer With Us
Center For Girls has several ongoing projects and welcomes volunteers willing to stay for a minimum of two months to help with day-to-day organization operations and other program efforts. Our volunteers are an integral part of our work and we value the time and experience they bring to our team. Specifically, we are looking for volunteers with experience in the following areas:
- Administrative Work (Checking emails)
- Website Development (Blogging, Social Media Maintenance)
- Graphic Designing/Motion Graphics
- Videography/Filmmakers (We would like someone who can make short personalized “promo” info clips around 1 minute about issues such as human trafficking, statelessness, child abuse, etc.)
- Grant Writing and Report Editing
- Most of CFG’s proposals and reports are in English, so reading, writing, and speaking proficiency in English is required
At CFG, we are grateful for all of our volunteers. We try to make it the best experience for you by providing room and board free of charge. We are like a family at Center For Girls. Below are some things you can expect if you choose to volunteer with us:
- Individual bedrooms for volunteers
- Cultural immersion experiences per volunteer interests
- Breakfast, lunch, and dinner (we often cook at the center, but like to go out to restaurants as well)
- Kitchen and laundry machine for personal use
- Two lovely dogs (Sansa and Khaleesi)
