Your Impact Matters
For nearly 200 years, Thompson Island has been igniting a love of learning in students of all ages through experiential education. Today our nationally recognized programs inspire academic success, leadership and teamwork, guided by our mission to change lives through challenge and discovery. Your fundraising will help us grow the number of Boston Public Students we can serve for FREE each year.
How to Start Fundraising
Your fundraising efforts will help to bring thousands of Boston Public School students to Thompson Island Outward Bound each year, where they learn, explore and grow. Check-out our Fundraising Welcome Packet then jump over to Everydayhero to set-up your team and/or individual fundraising page. After that, watch a short tutorial video to get yourself ready and excited to start fundraising! Then, utilize your community to fundraise effectively!
