Raleigh International run Expeditions overseas for young people aged between 17-24. Raleigh Expeditions offer life-enhancing journeys and transformational experiences for young people where they can challenge themselves, disconnect form technology and reconnect with people and nature – all whilst making a positive, long-lasting impact in the communities where they volunteer.

What makes your company different from similar gap year providers?

Raleigh International Expeditions are challenging as well as fun and impactful. You're developing yourself as well as others. Venturers live in basic accommodation, work on sustainable projects in remote communities or national parks with an international team, and trek through unique and stunning landscapes.

Venturers are challenged to achieve things they didn’t know they were capable of and return home with the power to create lasting change.

How many people do you take on your gap years each year?

Our Expedition teams are made up of no more than 20 Venturers. You will also be supported by at least two Venturer Managers.

Expeditions include different people, projects, locations and challenges. There will be people like you and people from different backgrounds and cultures, including local Venturers from host countries. Together you’ll be a team with a common aim; to bring energy and inspiration to create the world that you want.
