California Programs
Outward Bound LGBTQ+ courses are designed for LGBTQ+ teens to build community and cultivate self-efficacy through service-learning, leadership development, and self-discovery in natural environments. All efforts are made to staff this course with Instructors who identify as LGBTQ+, and aim to create a safe space for teens who have experienced being marginalized due to their identity, and/or are exploring their sexual and/or gender identity. Students should expect a traditional Outward Bound course structure, where they’ll learn technical skills and take responsibility for daily activities, while also developing relationships and building community with other LGBTQ+ youth.
