At the Philadelphia Outward Bound School, partnership is at the heart of everything we do. We collaborate with a wide range of schools, nonprofits, and community-based organizations to create transformative experiences for youth and adults alike.
Our oldest and largest partner, the School District of Philadelphia (SDP), has been with us since the beginning, and we’re proud to serve thousands of its students each year. Through these meaningful connections, we’re able to co-design programs that align with each partner’s unique goals and learning objectives.
We invite you to join a growing network of schools, businesses, and nonprofits that partner with POBS to inspire resilience, leadership, and meaningful connection. Learn more about partnering with POBS.
