We enable our member Schools to be more effective and more resilient and we promote and protect the name and trademark “Outward Bound”.
Adventurous Learning - A belief in the power and intensity of learning through adventure in the outdoors - as a means of bringing out the best in our participants.
Transformational Change - A deep appreciation of the balance between risk, reward and responsibility. We facilitate authentic learning through purposeful and intense experiences with real consequences and powerful, positive and memorable outcomes.
Respect and Compassion - Our Schools aim to stretch people both physically and mentally. In doing so they act with care, concern and generosity towards people and the natural environment.
The Outward Bound International Board has the ultimate responsibility for strategic decision-making, working with OBI’s leadership team to accomplish this.
It is the Board’s role to set and protect the vision, mission and values of Outward Bound as well as protect the reputation of the global brand.
The Board is comprised of a membership that reflects the geographic diversity of the worldwide Outward Bound network and the values and spirit of Outward Bound around the world.
