The inspiring connections outdoors (ico) program, for example, ran 254 trips for 5,127 youth and adults - primarily from underserved communities - providing hands-on environmental education about ecosystems, conservation issues, and the role of public lands in climate resilience. The national outings program offered 195 domestic and 61 international trips to 3,088 participants, integrated learning about local flora, fauna, geology, and conservation history, often incorporating volunteer work like trail restoration to build awareness of how environmental stewardship aligns with sierra club campaigns. Local chapters and groups organized approximately 1,334 outings with 4,319 participants, ranging from nature hikes to advocacy training, educating people on pressing regional issues like water conservation, habitat protection, and climate change, and empowering them to take action. The military outdoors program, as part of outdoors for all and supported by local outings, supported veterans and active military members with therapeutic outdoor experiences that promoted healing, conservation, and advocacy. Across all programs, sierra club outings not only connected members to nature but also instilled environmental values and a sense of responsibility, reinforcing the club's mission to explore, enjoy, and protect the planet through direct education and alignment with sierra club's conservation goals.chapter allocations: supporting local and state staff time and program costs.
