Why work for Outward Bound?
We're an educational charity that helps young people to defy limitations through learning and adventures in the wild. We partner with schools, colleges, employers and youth groups to teach young people the most important lesson they could ever learn: to believe in themselves.
Founded over 80 years ago, we have six residential centres located in the wildest places of the UK, where we work with over 25,000 young people every year. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and the work of our fundraising team, financial disadvantage is not a barrier to participation for disadvantaged young people to attend our residential courses.
We're unique in the UK in terms of the impactful programmes we offer, the inspiring and challenging environments that we operate in, and the expertise and qualifications of our instructors. Find our more in our short film here.
