The Extended Outward Bound Model (EOBM)

The Extended Outward Bound Model (EOBM) is a ground-breaking new framework that builds on Outward Bound’s 80 year history of delivering transformative learning experiences in the outdoors. Rather than a once-in-a-lifetime experience, the EOBM builds a bridge to participant’s lives post-course, creating a seamless and powerful framework for individual and large-scale social impact.

A resource for Outward Bound schools across the globe, the EOBM is evidence based, flexible, and user friendly.

I helped project manage the design of Outward Bound USA's 60th anniversary alumni video project. This included designing interview questions, interviewing 30+ alum, and driving the project towards a final product.

  • In 2024, we developed the “Extended Outward Bound Model,” a new model for adding post-course engagement into Outward Bound’s model of individual change and social impact.

  • In 2021, we developed a post-course engagement Logic model as a tool for Outward Bound schools

  • How do we know how we’re doing? We designed this tool to help Outward Bound schools to self-assess their post-engagement efforts, so they can grow and scale over time.
