Corporate Volunteer Program
Dig In and Get Dirty
Everything we do on Thompson Island is about exploring the natural world, building teams and creating opportunities. Through our Corporate Volunteer Program, your organization’s employees will come together for an impactful day of service, as they help preserve our pristine wilderness and keep Thompson Island prepared to educate and inspire our students.
Teams start with a scenic boat ride through the Boston Harbor, assist in staff organized service projects, enjoy lunch and conclude with a guided walking tour of Thompson Island. Your service will enhance the impact of Boston’s Island Classroom.
Getting ready for your volunteer day on Thompson Island Outward Bound Education Center?

“I’ve volunteered through the Thompson Island Outward Bound Corporate Volunteer Program at least seven times. I see volunteering as a way for me to give back to community, and as a way for me to get to know our community. Our company Service Day (on Thompson Island) has allowed me to meet associates from different parts of my organization that I do not normally work with it, and connect with them on a different level doing something outside of the traditional 8-hour workday!”
How to Get Involved
Our Corporate Volunteer Program is a stewardship opportunity for companies who have shown their support to Thompson Island Outward Bound and the students we serve. Volunteer days are available to companies who make a contribution of $2,500 to Thompson Island Outward Bound, or provide a sponsorship of $5,000 to one of Thompson Island's signature fundraising events, the Evening Expedition Gala and our 4k Trail Run. These events are designed to both inspire and build community among the attendees! Email Devon Cooke for more information, and how to book your 2021 Corporate Volunteer Day today. Thompson Island Outward Bound's volunteer program sells out every year, so reach out today!
Thank You to Our 2021 Corporate Volunteers!
