The Meg O'Neill Shooting Star Scholarship
The Meg O’Neill Shooting Star Scholarship was established in loving memory of Meg O’Neill (1982 - 2023), a cherished Outward Bound Instructor. Meg was a skilled rock climber and a passionate mentor who brought joy and creativity to her teaching, often sharing her love for the outdoors with a playful spirit. In honor of Meg O'Neill, Steve and Susan Chamberlin, along with Meg’s family and community, have generously established the Meg O’Neill Shooting Star Scholarship to carry forward her legacy of combining a love for the outdoors with a dedication to expeditionary learning. Meg believed in the power of the outdoors to inspire, challenge, and empower students.
An Unforgettable Journey: The Meg O'Neill Shooting Star Scholarship will cover all expenses and gear for nine young women, and a chaperone, to participate in seven days of outdoor learning and discovery. Participants will start with a day on OBCA's ropes and challenge course in San Francisco, where they'll build trust and connection. This is followed by a six-day backpacking and rock climbing expedition in the High Sierra. The program is committed to expanding outdoor opportunities for young women in under-resourced communities of the SF Bay Area, where Meg grew up, for many years to come. The program is currently in partnership with and accepting students from Pittsburg High School.
Please consider making a gift in honor of Meg’s life and legacy to the 'Meg O’Neill Scholarship Fund'. We are humbled, honored, and grateful to see Meg's passion and presence carried forward in this special way. Your gift will be matched, doubling your impact for years to come.
