Personal Development

Personal development is an integral part of every Raleigh
expedition. Volunteers are encouraged to develop
throughout via experiential learning. A number of tools are
used to facilitate this process:
1-2-1s
At the start of every expedition, volunteers have 1-2-1s
with the volunteer managers. These conversations ensure
we understand exactly what each volunteer wants to
achieve and what motivates them. The 1-2-1s are repeated
throughout expedition so progress can be charted, goals
re-assessed and achievements recognised.
Leadership
During each phase, each volunteer has the chance to
lead the group for the day. As ‘day leader’ it is their
responsibility to coordinate the group as they see fit. It
is a great opportunity to try out different management
styles, learn how to delegate effectively and manage group
decisions and actions.
Teamwork
None of our projects or treks could be completed without
the full commitment of everyone in the team. Volunteers
must learn how to work together whilst considering their
different backgrounds and motivations. Every day, the
groups must draw on each other’s strengths, overcome
weaknesses and listen to each other if they wish to meet
their shared goals.
Personal Development Journals
A Raleigh expedition is a great opportunity to learn,
develop and acquire new skills. But in the rush of
expedition, it might be difficult to remember everything
you have done and achieved. That’s why every volunteer
receives a Personal Development Journal where they can
record their experiences and reflect on them once they
have returned home.

El desarrollo personal es una parte integral de cada
Expedición de Raleigh donde se alienta a los voluntarios
a desarrollarse a lo largo de la expedición aprendiendo a
través de sus experiencias. Hay una serie de herramientas
que utilizamos para facilitar esto:
1-a-1
Al inicio de la expedición los voluntarios tienen una sesión
de 1 a 1 con sus volunteer managers. Esta conversación
se asegura que nosotros entendamos exactamente lo que
el voluntario quiere lograr y lo que los motiva. Se repiten
las sesiones durante la expedición, y se puede anotar el
progreso, revisar las metas y reconocer los logros.
Liderazgo
Durante cada fase, cada voluntario tiene la chance
de liderar el grupo por un día. Durante el dia tienen
responsabilidad de manejar el grupo como lo vean
necesario. Es una gran oportunidad para intentar
diferentes estilos de liderazgo, aprender a delegar tareas y
manejar las decisiones del grupo efectivamente.
Trabajo en equipo
Ninguno de nuestros proyectos o ‘trek’s podrían
completarse sin el compromiso total de cada miembro del
grupo. Los voluntarios provienen de diferentes países del
mundo, de diferentes trasfondos y con una gran gama de
motivaciones y metas. Cada día los grupos deben trabajar
juntos enfocándose en sus fortalezas y e ?????????????)??????????????????????????????????????)????????????????????????)U???????????????I??????????????????????????????)?????????????????????????????????????????A??)??????????????????????????????????????????????????)???????????????????????????A????????????????)???????????????????????????????????????????)??????????????????????????????????????????)???????????????????????????????((?((0
