Volunteer Information
The Inner City Outings program is made possible by its volunteers who give generously of their time and skills, and by the donations of money and equipment from its supporters.
Monthly Meeting
Our monthly meetings play an important role in the success of our program.
Know that your presence at our monthly meetings is a reflection of your
commitment to ICO, the kids and your team. It is your opportunity to
network and bond with your team members and other volunteers. It is also
the best way to find out what is happening, how it is happening, to sign up
for trips and to learn about other ways to get involved.
Meetings
are held the 4th Tuesday of every month at 7pm at the Brookhaven
Boys and Girls Club.
Click here for directions to the club. Please contact
Allison Williams if you
have any questions.
To Join our Volunteer Corp
We appreciate your interest in volunteering with us. To volunteer with Atlanta ICO you should be prepared to do the following:
Complete your CPR, First Aid, and Leadership Training within six months
Make a one- year commitment and participate in 6 trips/year (you will
find that our volunteers stick around for a long time)
Attend the monthly meetings
Contribute to ICO in either an administrative, fundraising, or special
task capacity as needed.
Our volunteer intake occurs once or twice a year. You will receive a thorough orientation and leadership training.
On the bright side, after all the paperwork has been complete, you will get
to know a great group of adult volunteers who share similar interests. You
will work with wonderful kids who will teach you a few things about their
life while you teach them a few things about yours. You will get to share
your knowledge and love for the outdoors with kids and adults who have never
known waterfalls or butterflies or hiking trails or a campfire.
