URGENT ACTION NEEDED TO SUPPORT OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION FOR UNDERSERVED AND AT-RISK YOUTH

Dear Outdoor Environmental Education Supporter,

Sierra Club's 'Inside the Outdoors Project'* is strengthening support and funding for outdoor environmental education programs serving at-risk and underserved youth through public education and advocacy. There is presently no public or private funding mechanism to sustain California's outdoor education programs. Inside the Outdoors is working to create an ongoing combination of public and private funding to ensure that all of California's diverse communities benefit from outdoor environmental education in the future.

We invite you to join our exciting, new listserv.
