Gore Mutual partners with Outward Bound Canada to increase access to experiential outdoor education
TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, November 7, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Outward Bound Canada is proud to announce that it has become Gore Mutual Insurance Company's first strategic charitable partner. The partnership with the Canadian charity stems from the company's desire to support programs and initiatives that build capacity in the areas of poverty reduction, equity and climate change.
The partnership will support Outward Bound Canada's efforts to hire Youth Advisors from diverse backgrounds to help guide its leadership, programming and processes, as well as support the charity's Youth Access Fund, which provides financial assistance to program participants.
The grant is a result of Gore Mutual's initiative to become a purpose-driven, digitally-led national insurer. The company believes that being good and doing good by its employees, customers, and broker partners benefits everyone - that includes spreading good in the communities where it operates and rewarding the good in others.
"In a digitally driven world, the connections we have with each other and with nature remain vital, especially for young people,” says Gaby Polanco-Sorto, Senior Vice-President, Purpose and Sustainability at Gore Mutual. “We're proud to partner with Outward Bound Canada to support their Youth Access Fund and Youth Advisors, as removing barriers for marginalized youth helps to foster their resilience, leadership, and spirit of discovery. These characteristics are essential for creating a just world where everyone thrives and belongs."
