EXPEDITIONS
REAL
TRANSFORMATION.
Find a side you never knew you had.

I’ve learnt I’m capable of so much more than I thought I was.

EXPECT TO BE CHANGED
YOUR EXPEDITION
WILL CHANGE YOU.
That’s the whole point. The skills and experience you build will make you stronger, more capable and more sure of what you stand for. You’ll explore the world, but will discover who you are. Venturers report it themselves.

Digital detox is one of the most underrated benefits of the Raleigh life – and it lasts
well beyond the in-country programme.
FIVE WAYS RALEIGH CHANGES YOU
How will Raleigh
prepare me for
the future?
Learning in the classroom has nothing on learning in the wild. The people who go far are the
ones with real skills, real experiences and real abilities that have been tested in the field.
On a Raleigh Expedition you’ll lead when it matters, team up with others from all walks of life,
and hold it together when things don’t go to plan. You’ll prove what you can do.
01
LEARN TO LEAD
Sometimes leadership means stepping forward.
Sometimes it means knowing when to step back.
From day leader on trek to strategy sessions on project —
you’ll lead in real situations, not simulated ones.
02
COLLABORATE & CONNECT
You won’t choose your team. You’ll learn how to become
one.
Working with people from different backgrounds and
cultures, you’ll learn what it really takes to get things done
together.
03
GAIN A GLOBAL OUTLOOK
Your understanding of the world — and your place in it —
shifts for good.
Living and working in communities far from your own
changes how you see people, place and your own role in
both.
04
BUILD YOUR GRIT
The hardest moments are the ones that change you.
Expedition puts you in those moments — and supports you
through them. Challenge, uncertainty and difficult days are
part of how resilience is built.
05
GET HANDS-ON
The work is real. The skills are practised, not theoretical.
Construction, conservation, navigation, first aid — concrete
skills you’ll carry into every job interview and beyond.
PROVE YOURSELF
THE FINAL
CHALLENGE.
The Final Challenge is the part of Expedition that will provide the ultimate proof of the transformation you’ll undergo. It tests every skill you’ve developed and will prove to you what you’re truly capable of.

Alumni
Footsteps
Over the years, Raleigh Alumni have gone on to achieve some truly incredible feats. They head up huge organisations, champion policy-defining initiatives and have literally journeyed to the ends of the earth – and beyond. The thing they all have in common? They started exactly where you are now – reading about Expedition, wondering if they could do it. They went. They learned. Then they kept going. You can do the same.

OUR JOB BOARD
THE ALUMNI BOARD
Raleigh’s very own job board puts you in front of employers who already know what an
Expedition means – because they’ve hired Venturers before, and want to hire them
again. We work with organisations across the world, from charities to construction
firms to solicitors to transport hubs. Here’s what our one our partners had to say:
“At JCB, we believe that outstanding people are shaped by outstanding experiences. Raleigh International alumni have demonstrated courage, determination and a commitment to making a positive impact through challenging expeditions and community projects around the world. These experiences cultivate the teamwork, leadership, resilience and adaptability that are highly valued across our business.”
