To help out

Help by Volunteering: Raleigh Inner City Outings (ICO) needs volunteers to lead outings, manage the budget, handle public relations, run fund raisers, maintain the database of volunteers and handle other administrative tasks. Contact our volunteer coordinator for details of volunteer opportunities.

The Volunteer Information and Agreement Form can be filled out and mailed directly to:

Asta Crowe
102 Cherokee Circle
Chapel Hill, NC 27514

To volunteer to participate on a trip, you must also fill out and return the Code of Ethics Form and return it with your Volunteer Agreement Form to the above address.

After a few months participating on several outings with ICO, volunteers interested in making more of a commitment and becoming a Certified Leader must have a current Sierra Club membership and First Aid certification and complete the following 3 forms:

1) Leader Application Form
2) Code of Ethics Form
3) Volunteer Agreement Form

Mail all three completed forms as well as a copy of your driver's license to the Raleigh Sierra Club ICO (address above).

For all other forms, see the Forms, Tips, and Minutes Page page.
