Just recently, on the 25th April, a group of Outward Bound Alumni from Melbourne got together to help a lady who earlier this year lost her husband, house and a great deal of her property in Victoria’s devastating bushfires.
Outward Bound offers exhilarating personal development courses that take people into new territories, giving them the opportunity to test themselves, inspire each other and come back with a new outlook on life and the world.
Outward Bound is firmly established at the forefront of personal development and experiential outdoor education. Since 1956, more than 250,000 people have participated in one of our programs! Being part of the international Outward Bound community means we have close ties with the many Outward Bound schools operating around the world.
Our desire is to assist you in your journey of self-discovery. We offer our programs as tools to help you develop your potential and achieve greatness in your life. The more we understand ourselves, the more we can be of service. Join us, and discover that there is more in you than you think.
Outward Bound recently delivered the first Rabobank Young Rural Leaders Summit. This program was an initiative of the Country Education Foundation of Australia (CEFA), who launched the program based on the success of the Outward Bound National Aspiring Leaders Summit. In 2008, fifteen young rural leaders were sponsored to participate in the Summit. CEFA Chief Executive Jocellin Jansson wanted to create more opportunities for young rural leaders and opened up 36 scholarships in 2009.
The 2009 Outward Bound National Aspiring Leaders Summit was a huge success. Twenty-five young people from across Australia came to Outward Bound's National Centre in Tharwa near Canberra for the seven-day leadership program. Congratulations to all the young people who participated and are now making a big difference in their communities.
As a Registered Training Organisation, Outward Bound has the scope to deliver the Certificate IV in Outdoor Recreation as part of our Instructor training program (Internship). This program is designed not only to provide participants with nationally recognised qualifications, but also the experience to become valued members of our operational team, and the Outdoor Industry as a whole.
The next start date for the Internship program is 1st July 2009, the closing date for applications is 8th May 2009.
