Outward Bound California is a nonprofit organization that provides experiential outdoor education programs. Its courses use challenging activities—such as multi-day backpacking and rock climbing—to help participants confront uncertainty and develop resilience, leadership, and empathy, with the outcomes extending into daily life. The organization is based in San Francisco, California, and operates as a mid-sized nonprofit. In 2021 it expanded its field operations by relocating courses to Yosemite National Park, in collaboration with the Forest Service. In 2023 it partnered with Cliniclegal to support a learn-and-earn pathway in community-based immigration legal services.
