Description
Inner City Outings (ICO) is a community outreach program of the Sierra Club dedicated to providing positive experiences in the wilderness to underserved youth. The goal is to open the minds of youth, helping them to appreciate the wilderness and develop a desire to protect it. Through ICO, volunteers provide outdoor experiences to people who would not otherwise have the opportunity. The San Diego Chapter formed in 2001.
