About Northwest Outward Bound School

The School's operations are run out of three locations here in the PNW:
Portland, Oregon  |  Redmond, Oregon  |  Mazama, Washington

Our classic wilderness expeditions, custom group programs and course logistics operate out of our Odin Falls Base Camp in Redmond, Oregon, and Mazama, Washington. The Outward Bound Schools program, Outward Bound Professional program, and the majority of administrative operations are managed by a team of employees who work remotely in the Portland, Oregon region.

Our administrative team consists of 25 dedicated, fun, and supportive leaders spread over three locations, a remote Portland administrative office and base camps in Central Oregon and Northern Washington. We also employ phenomenal instructors steeped in youth development, social and emotional learning, technical outdoor skills, and expert facilitation. 

We are a family and adventure friendly employer that nurtures an inclusive, active, flexible, and results-focused culture. A number of our admin staff work less than full time to balance family relationships/responsibilities or to allow for adequate time to travel, adventure, or otherwise pursue personal goals.
  

NWOBS recognizes that there are barriers precluding people with marginalized identities (e.g., black, indigenous, and people of color, immigrants, refugees, women, genderqueer, trans, people from low income communities, rural communities, people with disabilities, and more) from being able to access transformative and inclusive educational experiences. These barriers also prevent people from accessing and having inclusive and culturally relevant experiences in the outdoors. NWOBS believes it has the responsibility, as an educational institution, to dismantle these barriers so that it can full its mission of changing the lives of all who desire a quality outdoor education experience, and not just the lives of those with the privilege of being able to access NWOBS today. As such, NWOBS aspires to be more reflective of and relevant to the communities in the Pacific Northwest, both within its staff and leadership body as well as its student body.

NWOBS is an equal opportunity employer. It is the policy of NWOBS to provide equal employment opportunity in accordance with applicable law to all qualified individuals without regard to race, color, creed, religion, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, military status, political opinion, national origin, familial status, mental or physical disability, source of income, or any other status protected by federal, state, or local law, in all personnel actions.
