"Whether you’re an experienced expedition Medic or if you’re after a brand new adventure, you will not regret it. I feel like I’m coming away with more confidence in my skills, as well as treasured memories of a beautiful place and beautiful people."
Kasey, Raleigh Costa Rica Medic, 2018.
"Raleigh is held in high regard by other organisations around the world and my time with you has helped my career enormously. Watching the volunteers meld into a team and mature was uplifting and added to my leadership experience, and staying and working in the villages helped apply principles I'd learnt at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.”
