Managing Director Delphine Vann, who replaced the founder in 2016, leads EYC. Her father was Cambodian, and as a young girl, her family left Cambodia to escape the Khmer Rouge finding refuge in Switzerland, her mother's home country.

Her early experience in Cambodia inspired Delphine to build a career as a humanitarian professional working in war-torn areas, including Bosnia, Rwanda, and Colombia.

In 2001, after 15 years working for numerous NGO's, the urge to return to Cambodia became too strong; she was convinced that Cambodia's future development lay in the hands of its youth.

Delphine is committed to providing education and development opportunities to very marginalized yet deserving youth.
