DON’T LET MONEY HOLD YOU BACK

Money shouldn’t be an obstacle for youth who want to benefit from experiential outdoor education. Thanks to the generous support of our donor community, we’re able to provide funding opportunities so that all youth in Canada can reach their full potential. See below for the types of available funding we have available:

1) Funding for schools and organizations

OBC provides funding for schools and groups from underserved communities across Canada through its Group Access Fund.

Examples of organizations we have worked with include Indigenous community groups, environmental and service-related organizations, grieving youth, and youth who are newcomers to Canada.

For more information, please contact groups@outwardbound.ca.

3) Connecting with Courage

Thanks to the generosity of The Maddie Project, youth ages 14-16 can participate in Connecting with Courage programs at no cost.

These programs offer transformative adventures in a dynamic environment led by supportive instructors where participants harness the power of nature to rebuild their confidence and self-esteem.

Learn more and sign up for Connecting with Courage programs.
