OBNZ’s Ka Mahi Scholarship programme is supported by a variety of individuals, organisations and foundations.

Over the past 60 years, support from generous donors has provided the opportunity for hundreds of people actively engaged in their community to realise their full potential by participating in the Outward Bound Classic, Masters and Discovery courses in Anakiwa.

The programme is guided by the principle that every person should be able to access the opportunity to experience adventure and challenge, develop character and compassion, and learn leadership skills and service ethics, regardless of financial ability.

This is a great opportunity for our Waka ama whānau to get down to Anakiwa and experience Outward Bound!
