Due to social and economic forces in Cambodia, marginalized youth rarely experience educational mobility without intervention from external organizations. This study presents the results of a narrative study on the educational mobility of seven Khmer international students pursuing higher education in the United States who share the common background of (a) having been orphaned or abandoned as children, (b) having become residents in the same International Non-Government Organization (NGO) orphanage in Cambodia, and (c) at the time of the study, having achieved the educational status of a Junior or Senior at a postsecondary institution in the United States. Findings suggest that the participants' educational mobility was stimulated by a series of effective interventions, each initiated by the NGO over an extended period of time in the form of meaningful relationships and supportive environments. Findings of this study inform the process of educational mobility for marginalized Khmer youth and are relevant to organizations and leaders focused on the educational mobility of marginalized youth worldwide.
