Become An Environmental Activist

Join our 6-month climate-change volunteer abroad program

 

INSPIRE AND CHALLENGE

Our Program

At Richmond Vale Academy, we believe everyone has the power to change the world. During our 6-month climate activist program, volunteers from around the globe come together to counteract climate change and create sustainable living in the Caribbean.

This program will both inspire and challenge you to leave a lasting impact in St Vincent and the Grenadines. Together with your team, you’ll spend days teaching in schools, building ecological home gardens, planting mangroves along the coastline, and completing other environmental projects. While you’ll spend nights immersed in local culture. All while making memories with new friends who are equally as passionate about social change as you are.

What Our Climate Volunteers Say

6 Months To Make A Difference

What you can expect during your climate activist program

During the first month, volunteers immediately immerse themselves in classroom study and research activities to learn about and reflect on the effects of global climate change. 

During this month, volunteers practice, prepare, and execute their first planned climate-compliant project at Richmond Vale Academy.

Taking the knowledge and skills learned during the first two months at Richmond Vale Academy, volunteers go into the community to teach and execute climate-compliant projects. 

Volunteers continue the work they started in month three. Leading by example, they raise awareness and mobilize local people to participate in climate-compliant projects. 

Together with their team, volunteers collect data and prepare to execute their “Large Endeavour” to be completed before the program ends. 

Teams complete their “Large Endeavour” project and reflect on their 6-month volunteer abroad experience by giving lectures and sharing final reports with the community.
