The Islanders

A Community of Philanthropic Leaders


Join a growing community of philanthropic leaders and families who share a passion for helping students succeed in school and in life.

Made up of more than 300 members, the Islanders are a loyal and generous network that gives Thompson Island Outward Bound $1,000, $10,000, $50,000 and more. Altogether contributing almost $2 million annually, Islanders provide a strong foundation for our work, giving us the freedom to reach new heights.

Through their generosity Islanders provide:
  • Hands-on science education and leadership adventure to middle school students through partnerships with Boston Public Schools at no cost 
  • Scholarships to Boston Public Schools students to attend summer backpacking and kayaking expeditions
  • Preservation and maintenance to a pristine island classroom in the Boston Harbor
