Details:

Sierra Club’s Inner City Outings (ICO) in St. Louis is looking for volunteers to help provide safe and enjoyable outdoor experiences to youths who might otherwise not have them.

This program offers you a chance to share your passion for nature by taking part in outdoor activities as a leader or volunteer. These outings might consist of camping, hiking, fishing, canoeing and outdoor service projects.

ICO aims to inspire a love and appreciation for the natural environment while offering youths an escape from the often harsh realties of their lives. The program is a wonderful opportunity to give to the community while doing something you love.

The group is also looking to expand its reach to the East St. Louis Community. For further information or if you know of any community groups in East St. Louis that might value such a program, please call Amy Funk at 789-0841 or E-mail her at amymkfunk@yahoo.com.
