Agencies
San Diego ICO offers wilderness experiences to inner-city youth who might otherwise be unable
to get out of the city. ICO volunteers work year-round to develop partnerships with selected
agencies that serve youth in the San Diego area, including elementary, middle, and high schools,
as well as, community centers and various youth programs. The youth range in age from 8 to 24,
and come from diverse ethnic backgrounds.
If your school or community group would like to be involved with Inner City Outings, please contact
Kathleen Roth. We currently work with the following agencies:

Students are predominately Mexican-American with a small percentage of African-American, white, and Asian. Parents are interested in attending outings and supporting their children.
