  4. We are Crew: New Leaders Fundraiser

Classes are cancelled, but Compassion isn’t. 

With NYC public schools now closed through the end of the school year, NYC Outward Bound Schools is working overtime to keep our thousands of students and teachers connected, learning, and on track. But we cannot do it alone.

The New Leaders, our junior board and the backbone of our volunteer network, have made it their mission to raise critical funds that will support some of the city’s most vulnerable students during this crisis. Support their efforts by making a donation today.

Inspired by the words of Outward Bound founder Kurt Hahn, we believe that “above all, compassion” is what’s needed right now in these unprecedented times. Compassion isn’t canceled.

Donations are being matched!

If you’re a first-time donor or give a little more than last year, the Arthur Blank Foundation will match your donation. Give today and double your impact.

Teacher Tributes

Include a tribute of your own when you donate!

Jaclyn

To my sister Jaclyn who dedicates her life to teaching. – Danielle

Mr. Fantry

One of my favorite high school teachers was my English teacher, Mr. Fantry. He had an innovative style of teaching which effectively got through to his students. He was more than just a teacher. He was also a confidant. I’m very appreciative. – Nikita

Verona

The first & most important teacher in my life was my loving Mom, Verona. She taught us sound family values, including kindness, compassion, & giving back to the community. Sadly Mom died from COVID-19, but this donation is in her memory. -Consuelo

Mrs. Rigolo

Shoutout to Mrs. Rigolo, who was my two-time English teacher and SAT tutor.  She helped me navigate through two of the toughest years I had in school and, 10+ years later, remains a friend and role model to me and my family.

Joe & Jilana

Very special shoutout to both my parents, Joe and Jilana, who have combined for over 75 years of teaching in the Florida public school system.  My dad is a retired PE teacher and my mom is an SLP.  They instilled in me the importance of education early on and I couldn’t be more grateful to have them both as role models. – James

And here’s how you can help.
