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.
