Thus, Boundless Washington fellows not only gain practical outdoors skills, they also challenge themselves personally and develop valuable leadership skills.
The Boundless Washington is a year long program. Each cohort is comprised of up to 10 student leaders from throughout the state who are interested in exploring the outdoors, challenging themselves, and are motivated to make our state and their communities more inclusive.
