Voyageur Educational Partners

Voyageur Outward Bound has partnered with other educational organizations since our founding in 1964. Partnership is a way of life for us. We are better together and our primary goal is to help young people become the best version of themselves possible. We do this through vital partnerships across three sectors– Learning Institutions, Thought Leaders and Champions.

Learning Institution Partners

We work directly with other learning institutions– schools, colleges and youth-serving nonprofits– to design and deliver partnership programs for youth and young adults in these learning communities. We create programming to serve both student and organizational growth goals. Our purpose in partnership programming is to build lasting, sustainable and relevant experiential learning that positively impacts student success, and strengthens learning community culture. We specialize in character development programs for youth, teens and young adults to promote college readiness, access and success. Partnership programs are customized for effectiveness and delivered in single day, multi-day series or expedition formats. Here is a sampling of our learning institution partners:
