Attention VOBS Community!
Voyageur Outward Bound School is launching a full scholarship opportunity for students in our partner schools, colleges and youth-serving nonprofits.
And you can help spread the word!
We love working with our partner schools, colleges and youth-serving nonprofits. Together, we deliver life-changing programs for young leaders. In 2022, we’ll serve more than 800 students through our partnership programs alone, and now we can give these students an additional opportunity to go Outward Bound on a longer leadership adventure.
VOBS now offers individual partnership students an opportunity to be a VOBS SCHOLAR and go on a longer wilderness leadership expedition of their choice for FREE!
Please forward this message & share our goals:
- Help young community leaders go Outward Bound
- Support diverse leadership in our schools and communities
- Introduce more young leaders to the outdoors
- Invite young leaders to investigate careers with VOBS
- Invite our giving community to support VOBS Scholars

About the Author
At Voyageur Outward Bound School, we believe in the potential of every individual. We believe when people discover strength of character, an aptitude for leadership and a desire to serve, it has a positive impact on their lives and the lives of those around them. And that discovery has the power to make the world a better place. Our mission is to change lives through challenge and discovery. We offer life-changing expeditions for everyone, regardless of social or economic status, race or gender, from struggling teens, to first generation urban youth, adults in transition or veterans integrating back into life outside of active duty.
