RAW Impact has established itself as a leading organisation facilitating engaging, educational project-service experiences. High school students typically participate in a 10-12 day journey of cultural immersion and community-focused volunteer work where they make a real impact. Primary and Middle school students grapple with real-world injustices as part of Service Learning Modules and develop innovative solutions whilst participating in driving powerful change.
Before The Trip |
A minimum of 10 and a maximum of 50 students. Usually schools choose to bring around 25-30 students.
Our costs include a Registration payment (right now is $250+GST, to sign up which covers RAW’s costs to run the program including all Australian based support), Trip Costs (actual on-ground cost of the trip, quoted in USD, typically around the $950 USD mark but depends on trip length and itinerary), as well as $1,000 minimum towards funding RAW’s projects (including the ones the students will work on – this is tax deductible and we provide an online fundraising page via Everyday Hero).
Our team in Australia provide guest speakers to assist with sharing the trip opportunity, parent information nights, preparation sessions etc. We also run a series of email communications to students/parents to assist with admin and logistics as well as supporting phone calls when necessary.
During The Trip |
Typically 12 days including arrival and departure days but we’re flexible.
Yes absolutely! We take risk and safety extremely seriously however we also require schools to undertake their own risk assessments. We minimise risks by using safe and proven (yet simple) hotel accommodation, eat at trusted restaurants (or use our own in-house cooks), use one preferred transport company for our vans and tuk tuks, provide project safety briefings/training and require all volunteers to wear safety equipment (shoes, eye protection, hats etc) at all times whilst on the tools.
The first full day is a cultural orientation and RAW office tour, then we hit the tools on our main project (4 days), followed by a village sleep out, then off to our second project (3 days), finishing in Siem Reap to explore the Angkor Wat temples (2 days).
After The Trip |
We provide the school with 100+ professional photos as well as a three minute team clip to share with your school community and hopefully inspire other students and teachers to get involved. Our team in Australia is also happy to run debriefing sessions to assist with culture shock and processing the trip experience.
We would welcome that with open arms! Our team in Australia will work with your school to draft all trip documents including trip guides etc and assist your staff in activating the trip for the next group.
Following participation in a RAW trip, students and teachers will have the opportunity to volunteer in our Australian based offices or apply to do an extended volunteering role in Cambodia. We also offer a Year 12 Elevate Leavers trip.

My teams go to Cambodia thinking they’re going to make a life changing impact on a local family’s life…and they do!! But the sweet part, what they aren’t prepared for, is the life changing impact it has on their own life. RAW make it happen. Change is possible and beautiful.
