Getting my new boots was the best ever! And I broke them in early enough so they didn’t wreck my feet!

Your compassion makes a difference.

Our Scholarship Programs bring experiential education into our underserved communities.
Northwest Outward Bound welcomes opportunities to work with local organizations, schools and communities to bring our historical principles of experiential learning to those that have historically been excluded from outdoor education and leadership initiatives.

Our current collaborations include:

• Schools & Community Programs
• Pinnacle Program
• Needs-based Scholarships

These programs would not be possible without the generosity and support from donors like you. Thank you for helping us serve more and more students every year.

Thinking BIGGER?

We fully support collaborations with corporations and organizations looking to make a larger impact within our communities!
