Welcome! This is a website for Outings Leaders and Leaders in Training. Please let us know if there are other resources you would like to see on this page. Thank you for getting outdoors and making it possible for others to get outdoors too!

There are 3 main ways to get approved as an Outings leader for the Chapter and, or local Groups. And these can be done in combination as long as the elements needed are fulfilled.

1. You can sign up to take a virtual training class offered by a Sierra Club trainer. This is a remote training rpocess but does offer interaction with other volunteers interested in outdoor recreation.
2. Starting May 27th, 2022, you will be able todo the training in a self-paced mode using the materials and an online qevaluation. . You will also need to take basic first aid and complete a provisional lead outing
3. In person training. Expect an inperson training to take from 4 to 6 hours. This is the best type of training as you will meet other outings leaders to be in your region and it will help develop a network of people to work with as you pklan your outings.
