Letter from Executive<br />
Director and Board Chair<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
<strong>2008</strong> was a transformational year for <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Outward</strong> <strong>Bound</strong>. After celebrating our 40th<br />
anniversary in 2007, we were faced with a year that marked the beginning of a national economic crisis.<br />
This crisis presented an opportunity for our School to examine and change some of the ways in which we<br />
operate in order to effectively meet the challenges that lay ahead. We believe that <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Outward</strong><br />
<strong>Bound</strong> will be a stronger school as a result of these changes, allowing us to continue to change students’<br />
lives in a very profound and positive way.<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Outward</strong> <strong>Bound</strong> continued to focus on the safety and quality of the courses and<br />
programs we offer, serving more than 8,100 students and clients through our wilderness courses, group<br />
education courses, <strong>Outward</strong> <strong>Bound</strong> Atlanta and <strong>Outward</strong> <strong>Bound</strong> Professional programs. Our staff and<br />
instructors worked diligently to ensure that each student’s experience was one that was memorable and<br />
transformational.<br />
The majority of our wilderness courses included a service component in which students were involved<br />
in a project that improved the environment or the lives of people in need. Our students contributed more<br />
than 11,050 hours of service in communities in <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>, Florida and Georgia. Each of our courses<br />
also included a component that addressed environmental stewardship. We are proud that our students were<br />
taught “Leave No Trace” techniques that preserve our precious wilderness, and left with an appreciation of<br />
the limited natural resources we have for our use and protection.<br />
Our board and staff worked together diligently to ensure the effective management of the funds that<br />
we received from our generous supporters. As such, we were able to continue to provide scholarship<br />
assistance to 25 per cent of our open enrollment students. We were also able to continue to deliver<br />
community-based programs to 99 diverse youth in nine public schools in three communities in<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> that focused on diversity, character and leadership development, and compassion.<br />
The total amount of scholarship assistance provided to our students in <strong>2008</strong> was more than $555,000.<br />
Other accomplishments in <strong>2008</strong> included:<br />
• Seven <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Outward</strong> <strong>Bound</strong> instructors planned and participated in the Service Bus<br />
project, an expedition that took them 8,500 miles across the country to help them improve their<br />
professional skills while contributing more than 755 hours of community service.<br />
• The Unity Project received a boost from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation through a $40,000 grant<br />
to support the program’s operation and an independent evaluation, to be conducted by the University<br />
of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> at Chapel Hill.<br />
• The Educator’s Initiative continued with its second crew of educators from four schools in Atlanta<br />
and <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>. The program continues to demonstrate that experiential education is an effective<br />
tool in fostering the professional and personal development of teachers, helping them transform their<br />
teaching practices and positively affecting student learning.<br />
• Through our partnerships with Summer Search, Philadelphia <strong>Outward</strong> <strong>Bound</strong> Center, New<br />
York City <strong>Outward</strong> <strong>Bound</strong>, and schools and organizations in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Charlotte and<br />
Washington, D.C., we were able to send 90 urban youth on one of our wilderness courses in the<br />
Appalachian Mountains.<br />
• Our <strong>Outward</strong> <strong>Bound</strong> Atlanta program served more than 5,000 students from the Atlanta Public<br />
School system, playing a significant role in the character development and academic success of these<br />
young people. The OBA AmeriCorps team contributed more than 12,000 hours of community service<br />
in schools throughout Atlanta.<br />
We are poised to meet the challenges that lay ahead, and are able to do so through the strong support<br />
of dedicated board and staff members, volunteers, donors, and corporate and institutional partners. On<br />
behalf of our entire School, we thank our Alumni and friends who have generously supported the mission<br />
of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Outward</strong> <strong>Bound</strong>, which has inspired thousands to practice compassion, self-discovery,<br />
environmental stewardship and service to their community.<br />
With much appreciation,<br />

An ethic of service goes<br />
hand in hand with<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> <strong>Outward</strong><br />
<strong>Bound</strong>’s dedication<br />
to environmental<br />
stewardship. On most<br />
of our courses, students<br />
have an opportunity to<br />
participate in a service<br />
project such as trail<br />
maintenance or campsite<br />
repair. Students give back<br />
to the national forests<br />
and coastal areas through<br />
which we travel.<br />
“I have learned to<br />
open my heart to<br />
not only the people<br />
surrounding me,<br />
but to nature as<br />
well.”<br />

The mission of <strong>Outward</strong><br />
<strong>Bound</strong> Atlanta<br />
AmeriCorps Program is<br />
to inspire young people,<br />
through challenging<br />
experiential-based<br />
experiences, to build<br />
confidence and compassion<br />
in themselves, the<br />

Wilderness Education<br />
Through challenging experiences using the wilderness<br />
as our classroom, Open Enrollment courses present<br />
students a journey of self-discovery that provides<br />
the basis for personal growth and development of<br />
life skills such as: decision-making, problem solving,<br />
self-reliance, leadership and teamwork. In <strong>2008</strong>,<br />
these courses for individuals (teenagers and adults)<br />
took place in the wilderness of the Appalachian<br />
Mountains, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> Outer Banks, Florida Ten<br />
Thousand Islands, Bahamas and Patagonia, Chile.<br />
Ranging from 8-72 days in length, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong><br />
<strong>Outward</strong> <strong>Bound</strong>’s wilderness courses are physically<br />
and mentally challenging. Our Four Pillars (Selfreliance,<br />
Craftsmanship, Fitness and Compassion) are<br />
integrated into every aspect of our courses to create<br />
an experience that encourages individuals to reach<br />
beyond their perceived abilities and discover their<br />
potential to care for themselves and to reach out to<br />
improve the world around them.<br />
