On May 6, POBS convened its first-ever Expedition Launch Partner Breakfast, celebrating the beginning of program season with funders, trustees, and school partners.
Attendees heard from two students from Northeast High School about their experiences on course; from POBS board members Claire Robertson-Kraft (founder of ImpactED) and Crystal Edwards (principal at W.D. Kelley Elementary School), and POBS Associate Director of School District Partnerships Emily Della Fera, who spoke about how Outward Bound is approaching data and evaluation.
Program attendees were then invited to take a tour of The Discovery Center grounds with POBS staff, including observing as three crews from Swenson High School and The LINC High School prepared for their backpacking courses.
