Outward Bound is an adventure-based experience located in Anakiwa, Marlborough Sounds, that uses the outdoors to challenge participants mentally and physically. People from a variety of backgrounds, cultures, abilities and ages attend Outward Bound. 

The aim of Outward Bound is to build relationships with community organisations whose mission aligns with that of Outward Bound, and to support them in helping their community; Outward Bound's mission being "better people, better communities, better world".

OUTWARD BOUND SCHOLARSHIPS

Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary Award (the Award) National Director, Karen Ross, and Surf Life Saving New Zealand (SLSNZ) Chief Executive Officer, Paul Dalton, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to partner together enabling them to deliver the Award to SLSNZ’s young surf lifeguards.

“The Award is open to anyone between the ages of 14 – 24 years old.  Young people design their own Award programmes, set their own goals and record their own progress.  The development of character and skills such as confidence, communication, problem-solving and resilience is crucial for all young people”.
