About Outward Bound

Est. Anakiwa 1962

Outward Bound is a non-profit organisation specialising in personal and professional development - our aim is to help create better people, better communities, and a better world.

Our focus lies in building transferable skills and attitudes that remain far beyond a participant’s time with us. Lessons learnt are applicable to work, study, home – and they last for life.

The life-changing outcomes of an Outward Bound course have proven to provide the skills to support our participants to successfully transition from school to employment or study.

Outward Bound can provide people with the opportunity to step up and realise their potential to become positive and contributing members of their communities.
