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.

Vision

We envision a world in which all people are caretakers of themselves, each other and the natural world.
