PEPY is looking for an enthusiastic, dedicated Marketing and PR intern available now for a period of 6 months to join us in our Phnom Penh office.

To support these programs, PEPY works with a variety of educational, environmental, and health organizations across the country.

PEPY Tours is a social venture offering responsible adventurous and educational trips while providing long term support to development programs. The income and fundraising generated through PEPY Tours funds our non-profit organization, The PEPY Ride, as well as a number of development programs by local grassroots organizations.
