San Jose ICO offers wilderness experiences to inner-city youth who might otherwise be unable to get out of the city. ICO volunteers work year-round to develop partnerships with selected agencies that serve youth in the South Bay area, including elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as, community centers and various youth programs. The youth range in age from 8 to 21, and come from diverse ethnic backgrounds.
