SAFE SPACE AGREEMENT
Outdoor Activities runs programs that insist on a safe space agreement between participants, leaders, volunteers, and staff. We want to support everyone in exploring, enjoying, and protecting these phenomenal spaces, and hateful and dangerous behavior will not be tolerated. We don’t want to deny participation in these outdoor programs and we will always say no to racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia, impairment, and disruption. This clearly outlines the expectations of those wishing to support the Sierra Club mission and values.
- If you’ve signed-up for an outing or event and begin to feel ill, please stay home and seek appropriate medical care.
- Participants are welcome to wear masks if it makes them comfortable.
