It’s a well known fact that Elks National Foundation scholars are not just smart, they are deeply committed to service. Distributing new books to kids that have none, collecting food items for local food pantries, helping to build homes for those that have lost theirs, tutoring and mentoring disadvantaged youth, and reading to seniors in nursing homes are just some of the many ways Elks scholars give back to their communities. So it wasn’t surprising that in a 2008 survey of Elks scholars, more than 80 percent expressed interest in joining the volunteer efforts of local Elks Lodges. Our scholars spoke and we listened. Now, the Elks National Foundation will connect ENF scholars to Lodge volunteer opportunities! It’s a win-win for everyone!

If your Lodge would like to announce an upcoming scholar volunteer opportunity, fill out this form and we will post it online.
