Mission Statement
Inspiring Connections Outdoors Miami (ICO) is an outreach arm of the Sierra Club. Our mission is to expose youth from inner city and underserved populations in and around Miami to the wonders of the natural environment.
Description
ICO conducts 25 - 30 trips a year for inner city youth which are fully staffed and organized by dedicated volunteers, including volunteer trained leaders.
Our destinations are usually within a 30 min to 1 hour drive from Miami. Most of these are day trips that include hiking, cycling, canoeing, kayaking, and snorkeling. We also conduct overnight camping trips on weekends during the cooler months.
ICO also works to promote awareness of and interest in conservation and preservation efforts in Miami-Dade County. Each year we conduct a number of service outings ranging from tree plantings to beach or river cleanups.CAUSE AREAS
