Who Seattle ICO Serves
Seattle ICO offers wilderness experiences to inner–city youth who might otherwise
be unable to get out of the city. ICO volunteers work year-round through partnerships
with selected elementary, middle, and high schools and agencies that serve youth in the
Seattle area. Our youth range in age from 8 to 20, and come from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
ICO provides the equipment, financial assistance, and trained leaders with wilderness, first
aid, environmental education, and youth experience; and the agencies/schools provide the youth.
