Transform the lives of over 1,200 Boston youth each year by empowering them with life-changing outdoor adventures that foster resilience, leadership, and environmental stewardship. Through our challenging expeditions on Thompson Island, we break through barriers of socioeconomic disparity, helping young people from diverse communities develop character, compassion, and a lifelong love for learning—all within a safe, supportive environment where every moment counts. Your support creates a lasting impact, turning potential into achievement and hope into action.

Since 1974, Thompson Island Outward Bound Education has partnered with local schools and community organizations to deliver immersive programs that inspire academic growth, environmental responsibility, and social connection. Our experiential learning model combines rigorous outdoor challenges with mentorship, nurturing young leaders who are prepared to face tomorrow’s challenges with confidence, empathy, and purpose. Every donation fuels this transformative process—funding scholarships, safety measures, and innovative curriculum that reach underserved youth across Boston’s neighborhoods.

Together, we are building a future where every young person, regardless of background, has the opportunity to unlock their full potential. Your contribution helps us expand our impact—providing life skills, fostering resilience, and cultivating a new generation of environmental stewards and community leaders. Join us today in creating a ripple effect of hope, empowerment, and breakthrough success that will resonate for generations to come. Your support transforms lives and fuels a movement of hope and dignity in Boston’s youth.
