Community Partnerships

Partner With Us

Whether you want to support a group, tackle a local issue, or collaborate long-term, we can work together to create meaningful impact for those who experience disadvantage or life challenges.

Your support has a ripple effect that touches entire communities.

Every outdoor adventure is a catalyst for individual growth, building resilience and confidence that not only transforms the adventurer, but inspires a shared sense of hope and possibility that uplifts everyone around them.

Whether in nature or in life, the strength cultivated in one person can become a beacon of hope for many.

What lasting impact would you like to make?

Every partnership is unique, and we understand that your goals and values are important.

We’ve collaborated with corporations, organisation and philanthropic groups to create tailored partnerships that reflect their mission and objectives, while making a lasting difference for those who need it most.

Through our registered charity, AOBDF, we can also provide funding to community organisations representing disadvantaged groups, helping them access OBA’s impactful programs.

These are just a few of our stories. Please note for participant privacy, the photos may not display funded participants.

 

Case Studies

“I’m not saying that all women on this camp have healed from being a victim of domestic violence. No, we’ve got such a long way to go. It’s incredibly back-shatteringly painful and shameful for us every single day to wake up and realise that a terrible truth has taken place. But you’ve given us hope. You’ve shown that people can be amazing. That out there, people do care. People are invested and want you to be heathy and happy, and that alone is enough to give us the courage to embark on our own healing journeys.”

Women of Courage participant
Women of Courage is a program that brings together women who’ve suffered trauma. It’s designed to empower these women and support them on their journey of healing, strength, and recovery.

Mirabel Foundation

Mirabel is an Australian children’s charity assisting children who have been orphaned or abandoned due to parental illicit drug use and are now in the care of extended family.

“Outward Bound’s programs play a pivotal role in supporting young people to reconnect with their self, their education and communities. By building resilience, confidence, and empowering healthier life choices, these initiatives have a transformative effect, fostering positive change not only for participants but also for those around them.” – Mirabel Coordinator

Galilee School

Galilee School is a secondary school, designed specifically for disengaged and vulnerable young people, for whom the mainstream schooling environment has struggled to deliver positive outcomes.

“Following participation on the Outward Bound programs we observe that our students exhibit less at-risk behaviours, and there is also an observable improvement in the inter-relationships between the students at the school – these also lead to increased levels of attendance and engagement at school.” – Galilee Teacher
