When you partner with Outward Bound, you join a movement that helps young people discover their potential through challenge, connection, and time outside.
We work with brands, media platforms, and mission-aligned organizations who want to go deeper than traditional sponsorship. Together, we design campaigns, experiences, and collaborations that expand access, spark authentic conversations, and move real resources to the students and schools that need them most.
Youth voices at the center. We serve tens of thousands of students annually across our national network, with instructors, alumni, and educators who have powerful stories to share about learning that lasts.
A fresh take on growth and wellness. While everyone’s talking about screen time and mental health, we’re actually doing something about it—helping young people step outside their routines and into experiences that build real confidence and connection.
Proven impact with authentic stories. Your audience gets genuine content about youth development, outdoor learning, and community building—not manufactured moments, but real transformations.
Flexible collaboration that works for you. From coast-to-coast campaigns to local activations, we design partnerships that fit your brand, your calendar, and your goals.
Campaign & Content Partnerships
Co-create national or regional campaigns that celebrate youth voices and champion time outside. Think creator activations, earned media opportunities, original storytelling, and calls-to-action that drive real outcomes.
The Reset Movement
Our flagship initiative to reclaim attention and wellbeing with phone-free time outside. Partners help amplify the movement through national storytelling, community activations, workplace wellness challenges, and family-focused content—all tied to shared goals like hours disconnected, students reached, and scholarships funded.
Access & Scholarships
Power student participation directly through our Summit Fund. Remove barriers like gear costs and transportation while receiving transparent reporting on student reach and program outcomes.
Experiences & Events
Bring our “learn outside” approach to life through immersive pop-ups, community conversations, field days, and screening events that connect your audience with our work.
Employee & Community Engagement
Design meaningful ways for your team to get involved—from Reset Day wellness challenges to skills-based volunteering and workplace giving campaigns.
Product & In-Kind Collaboration
Provide gear, services, or products that increase safety, program quality, and capacity. From equipment partnerships to point-of-sale fundraising, we’ll find creative ways to align your offerings with our mission.
We start by understanding your brand goals, target audiences, and the outcomes that matter most—whether that’s awareness, engagement, scholarships funded, or community impact.
Your partnership might include campaign elements, scholarship funding, product collaboration, and employee engagement. We’ll build a mix that works for your brand and drives real results for young people.
Every partnership includes clear metrics and transparent reporting, so you can see the tangible difference you’re making in students’ lives.
From social content to case studies, we’ll help you share authentic stories about youth development and outdoor learning with your audiences.
