Projects on Raleigh expedition

Project work is at the heart of Raleigh expedition challenge. Working in some of the most remote and harsh locations in the world our teams have achieved incredible results. Our permanent expedition staff work with valued international and local project partners as well as host communities, to identify appropriate project opportunities. The projects expose our volunteers to the impact of volunteering and collaboration and our aim is that these experiences ensure life long active global citizenship.

Community projects allow venturer teams to work alongside community members on projects that aim to improve the quality of life of those communities. These partnerships have seen the construction of hundreds of education facilities, bridges and water systems commissioned, health and community centres built together with the health screening of tens of thousands of people. Venturer teams have been welcomed into thousands of communities across the world, increasing their confidence in working with people from different cultures and their understanding of global sustainable development issues.

Environmental projects allow venturer teams to experience unique environments from marine to desert to rainforest, working with the custodians of protected areas, international environmental organisations and scientists to assist in the global conservation effort.

Adventure projects provide physical challenges that test venturers’ resilience as they trek across deserts, over mountain ranges, through rainforests, canoe down rivers, across lakes and battle the waves whilst coastal kayaking.


Over our 25 years Raleigh has undertaken over 255 expeditions and have worked on thousands of projects. Here are just a few of the highlights ranging from individual projects to major multi-expedition programmes, which can only hint at the story of the last 25 years of Raleigh.

The Introduction Weekend (IW) is a pre-requisite to embark on an expedition. It serves to inform the participants through the introduction of the Raleigh International ethos and life on expedition.

The IW helps a participant decide if he/she is ready for expedition. It is also an avenue for Raleigh KL to get to know the participants. The participant's progress during IW is documented and the documents subsequently used for reference during application for expedition.

Those who have not been on IW and wish to go for an upcoming expedition may request for a specially-arranged interview process, no less than two months before the said expedition.

Email us at info@raleighinternational.org.my to register or click here to find out the upcoming IW.

Fundraising is the second Raleigh International Challenge. After the IW, you will need to fund raise for your expedition cost. It may range from RM2,000 to £3,000 for each expedition. These are very achievable amounts, proved by our long list of successful fund-raisers. Raleigh KL will provide the necessary support and guidance.

Fundraising for an expedition can be very challenging. The fund-raising process serves as a training and development process for Venturers. Venturer learns how to organise press conferences, meet deadlines, work effectively in groups, plan and strategise and take responsibility for his/her actions and negotiate with sponsors which helps develop the individual as a whole.

Fundraising is part of the challenge and the experience prepares Venturer for the expedition.

After sufficient fund is collected and other related processes done, the Venturer will leave for expedition.

On expedition Venturer will work on challenging community, environmental and adventure projects in a team for a duration of 10 weeks.

The expedition is divided into three phases: Adventure, Community and Environment.

Venturers learns to live, work and interact with other Venturers from around the world. In addition, they work closely with locals hence, cultural interaction is high.

Raleigh runs expeditions about 12 times throughout the year. Please click here to find out more about our expeditions.
