VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS

The Philadelphia Outward Bound School offers service opportunities for groups to give back to their communities. Outward Bound will work to design a custom service project that addresses the specific needs at hand. With the program demand at an all time high, our program locations are always in need of help from our service partners.

YOU ARE NEEDED

Service is among our core principles and thus we always seek for our partners to give back. Service to Outward Bound helps us to focus more of our attention and resources to continue to provide life changing experiences for the people we serve in our community. 

LOCATIONS

Service projects can be delivered at our Aerial Teams Challenge Course at The Discovery Center, our Wissahickon Valley High Ropes Course, or at the Lilac House where our staff live between programs. We also offer many opportunities to volunteer at any of our events, whether it be our largest fundraising event of the year or a community Discovery Day.

If you are part of a group that would like to give back to the community, contact Philadelphia Outward Bound School today!
