Outward Bound South Africa

Located in a beautiful setting just outside Sedgefield in the Eastern Cape, Outward Bound South Africa has been a long-standing and popular project with Project Trust Volunteers. 

Your Project

Outward Bound South Africa forms part of  Outward Bound International, the world’s largest, non-profit experiential teaching organisation.   

With four bases in different locations throughout the country, Outward Bound South Africa (OBSA) has its headquarters in Sedgefield where you will be based.  

You’ll play a hands-on role in delivering unforgettable residential courses for school and community groups, helping young people step outside their comfort zones, discover new skills, reconnect with the natural world, and build real confidence through adventure. 

You’ll also become an active part of daily life at Outward Bound. That means getting involved in everything from site and equipment upkeep to supporting the qualified instructors out in the field. Along the way, you’ll be fully supported as you develop core competencies in the outdoor activities offered by OBSA, giving you the foundation to grow your skills and experience in the outdoor sector.   

Accommodation

You will live in an accommodation block on the main site at Sedgefield. You will have your own bedroom but will share the living space and bathrooms with other OB staff. Your food will also be provided by Outward Bounds.
