Volunteering for Inspiring Connections Outdoors (ICO) will enable you to play a role in introducing a generation of young people to the joys and wonders of the outdoors. You will make it possible for them to experience nature, go on adventures with their peers, and gain passions and skills that will last a lifetime. Also, you will hang out with other like-minded people, perhaps making friends that will last a lifetime. (Little known fact: Our Chair, Rob, met his wife of 38 years, Suzy, as they were both volunteering for San Francisco Bay ICO!)
ICO Leadership Team: We currently have seven members of the Reno ICO Leadership Team and are looking for four more folks to join us in the areas of social media, trip coordination, record keeping, and donor relationships. Click here to learn more about the Leadership Team and volunteer opportunities that don't require outdoor experience.
The Reno ICO MeetUp is where you will find out about upcoming trips, monthly meetings, trainings, and events. If you are a certified ICO Volunteer, our MeetUp group is where you will join on trips - This is where the most fun happens! Whether it is backpacking, snowshoeing, hiking or whitewater rafting, we will list all available slots for ICO volunteers on MeetUp. Also new in 2024, we are beginning the ICO Outdoor Leadership Series, which will include trainings, hikes, and other trips. Click here to go to the Reno ICO MeetUp Group and sign up! (This is a private group which requires approval to join. It should take less than one week to get approval.)
