“Nature makes me feel more connected to my community.”

“I never thought that there was an organization I could get to call family, this is what ELK is to me and my 5 children that get so excited when we have an activity with ELK.”

“I don’t know how you did it. My kids use to hate being outside. I couldn’t get them off their phones or video games, but now they love being outside. They now like to hike, camp and just be outside. Thank you ELK!”

Environmental Learning for Kids (ELK) is an inclusive 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that develops inspired and responsible leaders through science education and outdoor experiences for underserved, urban youth ages 5-25.
