YUVACHUN’s mission, vision, and core values

YUVACHUN is more than just a network; it is a global movement dedicated to connecting Khmer youth and fostering a sense of belonging, pride, and mutual support. Guided by our mission, vision, and core values, we strive to empower young Cambodians to embrace their cultural heritage while building strong connections worldwide. Our goals are rooted in the belief that together, we can create a brighter future for the global Khmer community.

Our Mission

At YUVACHUN, our mission is clear: to unite Khmer youth worldwide, promote Cambodian culture, and provide support for those living, studying, or working abroad. We strive to create a global community where young Cambodians can connect, share experiences, and build a future rooted in solidarity and cultural pride. By fostering integration, collaboration, and opportunity, we aim to ensure that every member of YUVACHUN feels at home, no matter where they are in the world.

Our Vision

We envision a future where YUVACHUN becomes the leading global network for Khmer youth, acting as the bridge between the Cambodian diaspora and their homeland. Our vision is to:

  • Build a lasting network of Khmer individuals who support one another professionally, academically, and personally.

  • Preserve and celebrate Cambodian heritage and culture across generations and borders.

  • Empower Khmer youth to thrive in their bicultural identities while contributing to their local and global communities.

  • Serve as a key point of connection for cultural exchange, opportunities, and innovation, bringing Cambodia to the world and the world to Cambodia.

Our Core Values

Our organization is built on a foundation of values that guide everything we do:

  1. Unity: We believe in the power of togetherness and aim to connect Khmer youth globally. By fostering a sense of belonging, we strengthen ties within the community and with Cambodia.

  2. Cultural Pride: Cambodian heritage is at the heart of YUVACHUN. We work to preserve and promote our traditions, language, and arts, ensuring they thrive for generations to come.

  3. Mutual Support: From assisting students with integration abroad to offering professional guidance, we are dedicated to helping our members succeed and overcome challenges.

  4. Inclusivity: Whether Khmer by blood or by heart, everyone who shares our love for Cambodia and its culture is welcome in our community.
