Eye opening
April 25, 2025by: Gabby Gee - United KingdomProgram: Volunteer Abroad in Costa Rica - Adventure with PurposeDoing Raleigh was one of the best things I have ever ever done. If you’re thinking of doing it my divide is to just go for it! The environment phase felt like I was making a difference and supporting the local community's and helping the environment. The hike was amazing too. If you’re feeling nervous or unsure about it, again don’t! It’s such an amazing experience where you get to push yourself mentally and physically! Thank you Raleigh for a life changing experience
Raliegh is AMAZING
April 23, 2024by: James Harrison - EnglandProgram: Volunteer Abroad in Costa Rica - Adventure with PurposeI loved every minute of raliegh especially the community phase as we were completely immersed in a new culture and had the opportunity to impact the lives of those who we were helping. Trek is also incredible
Life changing experience I shall never forget
September 26, 2023by: Stan James Elvis Thomas - United KingdomProgram: Volunteer Abroad in Costa Rica - Adventure with PurposeThe amount of flexibility Raleigh gives you to explore parts of yourself you didn't know existed is phenomenal. This is multiplied by the relaxed friendly atmosphere of the volunteer managers and other volunteers, this allowed people to communicate problems formed during and before the program which we could easily help with and support them in any way possible. I have made friends for life who have a similarly driven, outdoor, and kind array of abilities that has led to a strong circle of individuals that I can trust and hopefully work with in the business world later in life
