Elks Scholar Service Trips

Elks Scholars Care

We know Elks scholars are dedicated to service. Now, you have the opportunity to come together in service with your Elks scholar peers.

In a typical year, the Elks National Foundation will offer three Elks Scholar Service Trips for up to 20 Elks scholars each in the summer, winter and spring. These trips offer the opportunity to learn about innovative social impact initiatives, connect lessons learned to their home communities, and connect with your Elks Family from across the country.
