Review for Sierra Club, Oakland, CA, USA
I love being a Sierra Club Outings Leader because the participants are so appreciative of our help. They want to "get out" and we help them with our experience in the wilderness and the conservation information we share with them. Sierra has a great group of staff members who educate us on how to be strong Outings Leaders so we are confident when we are on the trail or on the water. If we have any questions they are always there to help us. In addition to all of that Outings are fun!

Even more people wanted to "get out"!
