BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE WORLD
Who We Are
Established in 2002, Richmond Vale Academy is a registered non-profit research and training institution located in the beautiful country of St Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean. We open our doors to adult volunteers from around the globe who want to directly influence positive change on the environment and impoverished communities. With courses centered on poverty reduction, environmental conservation, and climate change awareness, our volunteers leave their programs enriched and empowered to build a more sustainable world.
St Vincent and the Grenadines is a friendly, English-speaking Caribbean Island nation consisting of 32 islands and cays. St Vincent is the largest island and currently home to the active volcano, “La Soufriere”.
You can expect a tropical climate throughout the year. This includes humid temperatures and heavy rain starting in early summer and lasting until late fall. However, due to global warming and climate change, the country has experienced detrimental weather pattern changes.
