We are Outward Bound
Our mission is to inspire young people to believe they can achieve more than they ever thought possible.
We partner with schools, colleges, employers and youth groups to teach the most important lesson they could ever learn: to believe in themselves.
We never let financial need stand in the way of attendance. Over 80% of attendees receive funding to come on courses. Our goal is to empower all young people to succeed; for themselves, their communities and society.
Our strategy
We have set a new, clear direction of travel for Outward Bound over the next two years in our strategy: Outward ReBound 2022-2024.
