Outward Bound Canada launches full scholarships for youth of veteran families

Outward Bound Canada (OBC) has launched an exciting new initiative to offer full scholarships for youth of parents or guardians who are or have been serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). This program, made possible thanks to the generous funding provided by W. Brett Wilson, aims to provide youth aged 12-19 with opportunities to develop their leadership potential and connect with their peers while enjoying epic outdoor adventures.

Designed to promote diversity and inclusivity, the program will bring together young people from different backgrounds and lived experiences on extended wilderness-based expeditions. Applicants must be between 12-19 years of age and currently residing in Canada, have a parent or guardian who demonstrates their (current or previous) membership with the CAF, and be interested and motivated to participate in the Outward Bound program.

The Youth of Veteran Families scholarship provides a fantastic opportunity for youth in Canada to experience the outdoors, learn valuable leadership skills, and connect with other young leaders.
