Join us - and make a difference
Lots of young people who come to Outward Bound Ullswater and Howtown have never left the city they live in, never mind come to the Lake District with our big hills and real life sheep!
It's a full on experience for these young people - and that's without the challenges of the Lake District weather! Coming back at the end of a long day to a warm, clean and friendly place to stay helps them settle in and make the most of their week. Our hospitality team play a very important role in the experience that participants and guests have at Outward Bound. We can't do what we do without you, and hope you'll join our team.
