FROM THE BAY AREA STAFF

The Outward Bound Bay Area Center aims to use Outward Bound’s transformational power to achieve positive and lasting change in Bay Area youth and communities.

Since 2008, the Outward Bound Bay Area Center has worked with over 1200 young people and 40 local educators through school-based partnerships and a variety of programming tailored to the needs of each partner.

Outward Bound’s Centers provide students, educators, and leaders opportunities to develop a better understanding of their capabilities and value to their community. The innovative programs present educational and skill-building alternatives for young people, encourage them to discover their inner strengths, and help them translate challenging life experiences into positive personal achievement.

Established more than a half century ago by European educator Kurt Hahn, Outward Bound promotes experiential education worldwide. All Bay Area programs are based on Outward Bound USA’s core values of Integrity, Excellence, Inclusion and Diversity, and Compassion with outcomes of increased Character Development, Leadership, and Service.
