Sierra Club has many opportunities where you can share your passions, your talents and your voice. The opportunities span the range from participating in hikes to enjoy nature, to helping to spread the word on environment issues, to helping young people experience and learn about nature and science.
Here in the Nashville area we welcome you to join us in our activities. You don't necessarily have to be a member of Sierra Club although we hope you'll join us. We would love to see you with us in one of the activities below. "Yes we CAN" - but not without you!
ICO - Inspiring Connections Outdoors
ALL ICO ACTIVITIES ARE TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED.
What’s Involved
Volunteers are welcome to join any ICO outing.
Volunteers can accompany the hikes, interacting with the kids and supporting the leader. No prior experience is necessary, just a desire to help out and have fun! And the kids love getting out in nature.
Getting Started
To get started, simply contact us through this volunteer form. If you want to go on outings you will be asked to provide an e-mail so that the Sierra Club’s background check (similar to one for employment) can be initiated. Once you have decided which outing to attend, contact the leader to express your interest and arrange when and where to meet. Helpers don't need to take all the training!
The schedule of hikes is posted on our ICO Activities page. It contains a schedule of current outings with contact information for leaders. Once you contact our Volunteer Coordinator we can provide you with more information.
