The Richmond Vale Academy is a school that (for 6-12 months) trains people how to work in community development and then places them in humanitarian aid projects in Latin America for 4-6 months. Since the opening of the Richmond Vale Academy in 2007, we are proud to have trained over 150 Development Instructors (DIs) to work with the poor in the Caribbean, Africa and Latin America. Together, we can fight poverty to make a better world.

We are part of the International DRH Movement. We cooperate with One World University in Mozambique. We also work with the organization Humana People to People and other local organizations.

Our ultimate goal is to rid the word of extreme poverty, the dangerous effects of Global Warming, and social apathy.
