The Sierra Club will be hosting three different listening sessions to explore our existing Sierra Club outings programs (Inner city, Local and National Outings) and evaluate how we can make Sierra Club Outings an engaging and welcoming place for members of the military and veteran communities. We want to know how to get them hooked on the outdoors and how to best help them become volunteers and leaders for Sierra Club Outings groups.
