About Program

Be a part of a program that honors Cambodia's rich, fascinating and turbulent history, while also considering current challenges and looking toward the vibrant future that the Kingdom's young people are creating. Be immersed in the culture and deepen your understanding of Cambodian society in a way that goes beyond that experienced in traditional study abroad programs!

On IPSL’s service-learning program, you will experience Cambodia’s diversity, including Khmer culture, indigenous peoples, the role of ancient and current spiritual practices and contemporary social issues while addressing social and economic challenges that come with globalization, tourism and development. The multi-day excursion to the 1000+ year old village of Ratanakiri, home to the Khmer Loeu people, shows first hand how rapid development is altering traditional Khmer ways of life.

This program is currently not being promoted on Go Overseas by its provider. Check with IPSL Global Engagement at Westminster University for the most up-to-date information regarding the status of this program.

Diversity & Inclusion 💙

IPSL is in solidarity with all summoned to action by the senseless murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and many other black brothers and sisters. IPSL wants to be of service to you and communities around the world to bring justice and healing and further advance the goals we all share. ​We believe in the power of service to unite and strengthen communities.
IPSL admits and does not discriminate against students of any sex or sexual orientation. IPSL is proud to support social justice movements around the world through our Service, Scholarship, and Love. Then, as now, we are called to resist and speak out for what is right. LGBTQ+ Rights are Human Rights
IPSL provides equal access to our programs for academically qualified students with physical, learning, or psychiatric disabilities.
IPSL admits students of any disability and makes available all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students. It does not discriminate on the basis of disability in administration of its educational policies and programs, admission policies, merit scholarships or other organizations-administered programs.

Impact 🌎

IPSL works to lessen its carbon footprint on our increasingly fragile planet. Since study abroad can only take place by boarding a plane, IPSL contributes to sustainable projects in several countries whose efforts help mitigate the harmful effects of pollution and waste that result from traveling. In one academic year, IPSL can contribute funding to environmental organizations to offset close to 600,000 air miles flown by our students, staff, and faculty. In concrete terms, we remit funds to help plant trees around the world; those trees then absorb some of the harmful effects that result from our decisions.
Since 1981, IPSL has facilitated over 471,000 volunteer hours in our partner communities, supported the work of hundreds of nonprofits and NGOs around the world, vigorously (and unapologetically) promoted social-racial-economic justice through service-based programming, research and publishing, scholarships/funding, and on social media. Recently, our organization launched new initiatives that will sustain our service-based mission into the future. At home, we maintain the same mindful practices by supporting local organizations that support the most vulnerable people. Large and small, every decision we make is about giving back and making our world a better and more just place.

Program Highlights

  • Live in the shadow of (and explore!) the ancient and beautiful (and arguably a Wonder of the World!) Angkor Wat temple complex.
  • Visit Tonlé Sap SE Asia's largest freshwater lake and of major importance to Cambodia. The lake expands and shrinks dramatically with the seasons. Tonlé Sap is home to many floating and / or silted communities, large portions of which are pop.
  • Volunteer Service that addresses REAL human needs including Youth Development & Empowerment; Environmental Education and Education & Social Services for Rural Populations.
  • IPSL, the founder of Service-Learning, is a global education institute within the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM.edu). They invest over 83% of their revenues directly back into the communities where they serve.
  • Go on a multi-day excursion to the 1000+ year old village of Ratanakiri which is home to the highland Khmer Loeu people.
