Leadership Responsibility
Each Sierra Club post on this Meetup is created and led by an individual Event Host, who is solely responsible for planning, safety, decision‑making, and compliance with Sierra Club policies for their specific activity. Meetup role titles such as Organizer, Co‑Organizer, Assistant Organizer, or Event Host are administrative designations used only within the Meetup platform and do not represent official Sierra Club positions or authority. The Organizer does not supervise, vet, approve, or manage Sierra Club trip leaders, performs only basic Meetup site upkeep, and does not assume responsibility for leader decisions, outing content, or policy compliance. All questions or concerns about a particular post should be directed to that outing’s Event Host.
If you're looking for outdoor activities - hiking, backpacking, service opportunities, etc - check out our Sierra Club | Kansas City | Backpacking | Hiking | Service Meetup Group.
You do not have to be a Sierra Club member to join this meetup group or participate in the outings, though we welcome you to join for as little as $15.
