The Turing Scheme is the UK’s global programme for volunteering abroad, offering once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for personal and professional development for students
At Raleigh Costa Rica we empower young people from across the world to develop their skills, build confidence and take action on the issues they care about. We do this through challenging and fun international volunteering experiences.
Volunteering with Raleigh Costa Rica is an immersive, one-of-a-kind experience. Described by our volunteers as “absolutely life-changing”, it’s a journey you will never forget. Don’t expect tourist hotspots, five-star hotels and 24/7 wifi (we promise you won’t miss it); instead, expect a memory-making adventure full of fun and rewarding experiences.
Start Raleigh Expedition in the most biodiverse country in the world. Despite being only 0.03% of the world’s land mass, Costa Rica is home to almost 5% of the planet’s biodiversity. It is naturally rich in ecosystems and species; however, the country’s natural environment is fragile and considered vulnerable by many environmental NGOs and SINAC (National System of Conservation Areas). Now more than ever we need young people like you to participate in the Expedition and help us fight the climate emergency.
