Boundless Washington is a statewide program that integrates fun, challenging outdoor activities with leadership development for young people with disabilities.

A reminder of the importance of accessibility and autonomy for those who are Blind and/or visually impaired. It also coincides with World Sight Day - October 13, 2022! Braille is a tactile reading and writing system invented in 1819 by Louis Braille as a form of Military code.

Did you know that September is Deaf Awareness month? In honor of celebrating and spreading awareness of Deafness, Deaf culture, hearing loss, and Deaf identity, here are some helpful tips that were shared by one of our very own Boundless Washington students, Josiah!

If you want to escape into some beautiful forest-y imagery for a few minutes (and pick up some practical tips along the way), read this article by @OlympiaJoe on WA’s incredible Hoh Rainforest. 💚

Took a break from covid, elections, wildfires, civil unrest, etc, to scribble on the Hoh rainforest:

During our last excursion, our fellows went on a night kayaking tour to experience the famous #PNW bioluminescent algae. 💚 Check it out!

But there's a lot more to our students than just their disabilities. So we're celebrating Ritika's cool new skill and ability to break into the visual arts — but don’t mistake it for a simplified disability narrative! Ever.✌️

#BoundlessWA consists of 2 parts: outdoor adventure + leadership training for young people with disabilities.

This weekend everyone got out of their comfort zones by setting up camp, doing a nighttime kayaking trip, and sleeping (or trying to sleep) in a tent. 🏕
