The Venturer’s Scholarship Programme is an alternative skills-based education programme for young adults ages 17 - 24 years old. The scholarship programme is fully subsidised through community donations. Upon completion of the programme, participants graduate with a certificate and become alumni with opportunities of becoming Project Managers, Mentors, Coaches and Board Members.
The programme helps young Bermudians ages 17 - 24 years old who are at a crossroads and are at risk of not reaching their full potential by providing them with a year-long personal development programming through coaching, local training camps and the opportunity of receiving a scholarship that encompasses a 10-week overseas expedition.
Raleigh’s training programme helps young people transition into adulthood and to overcome the ‘day-to-day’ risks they may face such as drugs, abuse, alcohol, negative peer pressure, and crime. Raleigh International Bermuda is able to provide young Bermudians with this experience through the generosity of our sponsors. It costs approximately $15,000/participant for our year-long programme, which includes expedition fees, travel expenses, expedition kit/equipment, training, vaccinations, and programme support.
The year long programme requires full commitment for the following training camps in order to be considered and eligible for the overseas expedition. Please see the required phases and training camps for the programme:
