Do you offer training for Venturer Managers?

Yes, before departing on any of our Expeditions you will be invited to an online training event hosted by our Venturer Journey Team. Once you get into country, you’ll be given 2 weeks of training by our in-country staff team which includes general Venturer Manager training and role-specific training. If you are an Office VM, you will get an extra 5 days of training on top of the 2-week general training.

What flexibility do i have as an office VM?

You will be living and working at Fieldbase and although we try to keep hours between 9-5, there are days where this will vary. An important part of your role includes project site visits, getting to know the Venturers and supporting with managing any incidents or requests, which may require more time. On your days off, you have the opportunity to visit the local area or relax. Although we do recommend getting a taste of the local culture and asking staff for activity recommendations!

What are the general expectations of all our Venturer Managers regardless of their role?

During your Raleigh International Expedition, you will be responsible for facilitating and inspiring a diverse group of young Venturers. You will run energisers and teambuilding activities, support the delivery of Raleigh environmental and community projects, and support Venturers in their personal development, including one-to-one sessions. You will need to be able to delegate tasks, work alongside the local community and our partners, track the progress of our projects and manage the group environments. Each Venturer Manager role comes with its own set of specific requirements, however, all of our Venturer Managers need to create a positive and motivating environment.

VENTURER MANAGERS

Raleigh International are not currently recruiting for Venturer Managers. For Expeditions taking place from October 2026 and in 2027, a team of National Project Coordinators will support Raleigh Venturers during their Expeditions.

At Raleigh International, we are proud of the role Venturer Managers have played in supporting thousands of young people on Expedition over the years.

Venturer Managers (aged 25+) have been central to the success of our programmes, playing a key role in providing guidance, leadership, and pastoral support to Raleigh Venturers as they take on life-changing and challenging Expeditions.

ABOUT THIS CHANGE

A CONSIDERED CHANGE

We recognise that Raleigh Venturer Managers have made a big impact on Raleigh Expeditions throughout the years. We are grateful to the commitment, energy and dedication shown by all Venturer Managers on Expeditions.

We are confident it is the right step forward. One that will allow us to deliver a higher quality Expedition experience, deepen our impact in the communities we serve, and continue to hold safety as our highest priority.

FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES

As we introduce National Project Coordinators onto Expeditions, applications for international Venturer Manager roles are currently closed for the foreseeable future. While there are no plans to reopen applications at this time, we will continue to review our programme.

Venturer Manager FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Venturer Manager roles.

I was interested in becoming a Venturer Manager. Will I still have the opportunity to do this in the future?

At this moment in time we are not accepting applications for Venturer Manager roles. We cannot currently give any timeline on the possibility of Venturer Manager roles reopening for applications in the foreseeable future.

I am 25+, how can I get involved in Raleigh now?

Raleigh Expedition is currently open for applications for young people age 18-24.

If you are a Raleigh Alumni, there are tons of opportunities for you to continue to engage with Raleigh International. Alumni opportunities can be found on our Alumni webpage.

We are also currently in the development phase of a new Expedition Alumni Programme.

Will Venturers on Expedition still receive the same amount of support on their programmes as before?

By removing Venturer Managers in favour of local support staff, we categorically are not reducing the support that our Venturers will receive on Expedition. In fact, we believe this change will improve the support that they receive on their programme.

National Project Coordinators bring deep, first-hand knowledge of the environments, communities, and cultures in which our Expeditions take place. We believe they are best placed to create the kind of meaningful, high-impact experiences that sit at the heart of the Raleigh Expedition. 

Specifically, we expect this change to result in: 

Clearer communication with local project partners, enabling stronger working relationships and more effective delivery on the ground.

Richer Expedition experiences for Venturers, shaped by PCs with genuine knowledge of the areas, communities and ecosystems they are working in.

Improved safety, particularly in the event of an emergency, where local lived experience and established community networks are invaluable.
