About Program
The Leadership Resident Program brings volunteers who teach, mentor and learn alongside Harpswell’s bright Cambodian young women attending university. The program has two volunteer tracks: Leadership Residents (LR) and the LR Fellowship. Both LRs and LR Fellows live in one of Harpswell’s two dormitory leadership centers alongside students. LRs commit to terms of four to eight months, immersing themselves in a dynamic community of future leaders. LR Fellows commit one year at Harpswell, acting as peer leader for LRs, taking the lead on ensuring the in-country LR Program runs smoothly.
This volunteer opportunity is designed for women passionate about sharing their expertise, broadening their perspectives and engaging meaningfully in cross-cultural exchange. It offers a chance to leave an impact on others while gaining invaluable personal and professional growth.
