Raleigh

Raleigh give you the chance to use your professional skills on your career break, as part of an expedition.

The expeditions

Raleigh lets you choose from project or field-based roles. Project roles include project managers, medics, trek leaders, interpreters. Skills required for field-based roles include finance, communications, photography, logistics, and administration.

The benefits:

  • You’ll be making a genuine difference to host communities and environments - with a permanent field base in each country, Raleigh staff are able to build long-term relationships with project partners to ensure the projects are worthwhile and sustainable
  • You get to explore off-the-beaten track because Raleigh gets into areas other tourists don’t have access to
  • You gain satisfaction from helping venturers on their way to being the best they can be, developing your own confidence and learning many new skills along the way
  • Raleigh welcomes people from all backgrounds and nationalities, including the host country, so you’ll experience a unique exchange of cultures and make long-lasting friendships.

One thing is certain - there is no such thing as a typical day on a Raleigh expedition!
