About Outward Bound

Our mission is to inspire character development and self-discovery in people of all ages and walks of life through challenge and adventure, and to impel them to achieve more than they ever thought possible, to show compassion for others and to actively engage in creating a better world.

"The aim of education is to impel young people into value forming experiences."

- Kurt Hahn, Founder

Outward Bound is a non-profit educational organization with five core programs that change lives, build teams, and transform schools. These programs are Outward Bound Wilderness, Expeditionary Learning Schools Outward Bound, Outward Bound Professional, Outward Bound Urban Centers and Outward Bound Discovery.

We deliver adventure in the wilderness, urban centers, workrooms, and classrooms to help others achieve their possibilities and to inspire them to serve others and the world around them.

Outward Bound depends on donations to ensure our continued ability to provide students with financial need, employ highly-trained teachers and instructors and maintain safe equipment. Our donor’s loyalty and support has helped build Outward Bound to what it is today, and what it is becoming.
