Outward Bound California is looking for volunteers to help with event logistics for The City Skyline Challenge, a 2-day fundraising event where fundraisers, celebrities, sponsors and politicos have the opportunity to rappel off the roof of the HIlton Regency in downtown San Francisco.
We ask that volunteers are willing to work at a registration table, escort rappellers from the lobby of the hotel to the roof, hand out fliers, and be general runners for materials. More details of shifts, specific jobs, and skills needed will be sent to anyone who is interested in volunteering. Training the week before and the morning of each event day will be provided. Both event days are open to volunteers, August 18th and 19th. General times will be from 7:30 am-6 pm both days, but specific times will be announced closer to the event days.
Event Activity: This event is extremely fun and very energetic. We ask that volunteers wear comfortable shoes and we will provide volunteer shirts in various sizes. The event will be held indoors and outdoors, so please wear sunscreen and bring layers. We will have a safe place for you to keep your personal belongings.
Perks include: snacks/food/drinks, goody bags, training for specific tasks, being a part of a special event with local celebs and media outlets, as well as helping a premier non-profit experiential education organization provide sponsorship for low-income and underrespresented Bay Area students.
Please contact Amelia Vigil via email or at (415) 316-0561 for more information

Mission Statement
To change lives through challenge and discovery.
Description
Outward Bound was founded in 1941 during World War II to provide young sailors with the experiences and skills necessary to survive at sea. Named after the nautical term for a ship’s departure from the certainties of the harbor, Outward Bound was a joint effort between British shipping magnate Sir Lawrence Holt and progressive German educator Kurt Hahn. Hahn believed education must encompass both the intellect and character of a person. In creating the first Outward Bound School, he expanded the concept of experiential learning to include real and powerful experience to gain self-esteem, the discovery of innate abilities, and a sense of responsibility toward others. Outward Bound has since become the premier adventure-based education program in the world.
In 2008, Outward Bound launched its first West Coast urban-based "Center" in San Francisco ("Bay Area Center") following the successful establishment of other Centers in Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, New York and Philadelphia in the 1980s and 1990s. Urban-based Centers reach more underserved urban youth populations through a menu of programs that promote personal transformation using the natural and historical settings of cities and their surrounding areas.
