The Expedition experience of a lifetime for young people. Volunteer on projects overseas to change lives and transform yours.
That’s how people describe Raleigh International.
We run Expeditions to South Africa, Costa Rica, Borneo and Kenya where you’ll volunteer on projects which create a sustainable difference.
We’ve been doing that for 40 years and over 55,000 volunteers have transformed their lives.
Now, it’s your turn.
“Challenging, but ultimately massively rewarding and fulfilling experience!”
Maria | Raleigh Alumni
You can volunteer on a 5, 7 or 10 week programme and take part in up to three phases:
Environmental – contribute to projects which support wildlife havens and the fragile eco-systems.
Community – immerse yourself into a new culture while you volunteer in the heart of rural communities.
Adventure challenge – feel the transformative power of challenge trekking in spectacular landscapes.
Open to 17–24-year-olds.
