2007 ICO Fundraising: REI Gift-Wrap

Last Call for Volunteers!!!
 
Dear Sierra Club Inner City Outings volunteers and supporters, it's almost time to put on your Santa hats and get busy wrapping gifts!

This year we will be wrapping gifts at these locations:

on the weekends of December 15-16 and December 21-23.

With volunteers' help last year, ICO raised over $3,800, all of which went directly to taking inner city youth on outdoor adventures. We can take 150 plus kids out into the woods during the year with this funding.

If you are interested in helping ICO with this year's funding, getting these kids outdoors and getting into the holiday spirit, please volunteer for one of the open wrapping shifts below by contacting us with the location and shift you would be interested in.

Sierra Club Inner City Outings is a community outreach program of the Sierra Club that provides low-income, inner city youth with trips into the wilderness. Atlanta ICO volunteers take children from Brookhaven and Warren Boys & Girls Clubs, Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP) School, Cool Girls Inc. and John Hope Elementary Schools on outdoor adventures to learn about nature and to increase their environmental awareness, interpersonal skills and self-esteem.

If you are interested in learning more about Atlanta ICO or volunteering with us, please visit the Atlanta ICO website or contact Erin Bracey at erinbracey@gmail.com .
