3-part team projects in Nicaragua & Costa Rica with Raleigh
Program Description
A Raleigh expedition to Nicaragua and Costa Rica is a unique opportunity to experience incredible cultures and help tackle poverty, whilst living in some of the most beautiful places on earth.
You can choose to spend 10, 7 or 5 weeks on expedition. We'll guide you through up to three exciting challenges:
- Building community centres in the Nicaraguan cloud forest
- Trekking across volcanic peaks to the ocean
- Living in the Costa Rican jungle and helping experts on conservation projects
Whichever projects you do, we can guarantee that your expedition will be supportive and worthwhile.
You'll be part of a team made up of diverse nationalities, all working together on projects that will inspire you for a lifetime.
At Raleigh, we have over 30 years' experience of working with young people. We are dedicated to making a positive impact on communities and driving change that lasts.
“To go from watching my host mum struggle in her daily life, carrying a 25 litre water can to the river numerous times a day to seeing her turn on the tap 4m away from her front door at the end of the project was incredible."
