ELK Opens Doors to the Outdoors


ELK reaches out to students who have been traditionally overlooked and under-encouraged in science and science-related careers, including youth of color and females.

ELK opens new doors of opportunity by engaging and mentoring youth through engaging science education and leadership development programs that provide a real-life context for learning. Youth experience Colorado's natural world, increase their academic science skills, become involved in their neighborhoods and get exposure to careers in the field of natural resources.
