"Using
overseas expeditions, we challenge young Bermudians to harness
their full potential and develop skills for life."
Raleigh
International Bermuda is a youth development organisation (reg
charity #710) that is passionate about helping young Bermudians
between the ages of 17-25 to realise their full potential and
to effectively manage the 'day to day' risks they face - drugs,
alcohol, crime, anti-social behaviour, bullying, loss of motivation/inspiration/,
negative peers, low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence –
the list goes on and on.
We
aim to facilitate, empower and support young people to take charge
of their lives, contribute positively to society and successfully
manage independence and the transition to adulthood. At the same
time, we encourage them to behave with tolerance, compassion and
understanding and give support to others who are less fortunate
or simply different to themselves.
Founded in 2004 by Michael Spurling, Raleigh
International Bermuda is a branch of Raleigh
International (UK). The programme structure and philosophy
of the Bermuda organisation are thus, associated with that of
our parent group, and are designed to help young people develop
skills and self-confidence in a fun and challenging environment
beyond the classroom and workplace. We believe that taking a young
person "outside their comfort zone", allows them to
explore a different side of themselves and accomplish more than
they ever thought possible.
