Volunteering overseas is great.
But it’s important that you make sure that your contribution is genuinely needed and that you will make a lasting impact.
Here at Raleigh International we urge young people to do thorough research before going away.
To help, we’ve put together ten tips to make sure your volunteering makes a positive difference.
From building a water-saving hand-washing device to communicating despite a language barrier – there are plenty of skills you can learn from volunteering with Raleigh.

On 25th April 2015, over 21,000 people were injured when the devastating earthquake struck Nepal. One year on, Raleigh volunteers have been working alongside rural communities affected by the disaster, working to improve water sanitation facilities and creating job opportunities for the Nepali youth. But none of this work would be possible without the kindness and generosity of the women who have shared their homes with the volunteers. Raleigh Photographer Saraya Cortaville visited the Raleigh host mothers in Nepal, who shared their powerful stories from the time of the earthquake.

April 13, 2016It is with sadness that Raleigh has heard about the death of alumna Sarah Young.
Sarah was taking part in the Clipper Round the World Race as a crew member on the IchorCoal when she was swept overboard. Rescue efforts were hampered by high winds. Our thoughts are with her partner and her family and friends.
Sarah owned a personal lifestyle company providing services for private high net worth individuals and taking part in the race had been an ambition of hers for some years. She went to Borneo with Raleigh International in 2008 and stayed on into 2009 as a Volunteer Manager. She will be much missed by the Raleigh family.
Read the full statement from Clipper Round the World Yacht Race.
In 2015, world leaders came together to pledge their commitment to achieving universal clean water and sanitation as part of the Global Goals. Water is one of the most important aspects of human survival, yet water scarcity is still widespread and many communities around the world lack access to basic water and sanitation facilities. This World Water Day, Raleigh volunteers have been doing their bit to bring water to the communities that need it most.
