Outward Bound, founded in 1941 by educator Kurt Hahn, is a non-profit educational organization that serves people of all ages and backgrounds through challenging learning expeditions that focus on the outcomes of character development, leadership and service. As the pioneer and leading provider of experiential and outdoor education in the U.S., Outward Bound offers over 1,000 courses throughout the year, across the U.S. and internationally. Outward Bound helps individuals and teams discover strength of character and an aptitude for leadership needed to serve others in their community and care for the world around them. At the Philadelphia Outward Bound School we educate students through our many partnerships with schools and youth serving organizations across Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. Together, with these educational partners, we inspire more than 6,000 students to discover that there is more in them than they knew.
