Risk Management

Sierra STEM is committed to providing a safe and rewarding experience to all of our partners and clients. To that end, we take many steps to mitigate and manage risk in our programs, particularly those that take place in wilderness environments.

For example:

• All facilitators are certified as Wilderness First Responders (WFR).

• We conduct training for all chaperones/adults participating in educational overnight trips.

• We conduct an annual risk management inventory, looking at every aspect of our business.

• We include DEI, harassment, and microaggression awareness training among our risk management measures.

• We participate in the annual Wilderness Risk Management Conference in order to stay up-to-date on best practices.

• We carry robust insurance to cover all of our business practices.

• All facilitators are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. (For more information about our COVID safety protocols and participant requirements, please contact us!)
