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.

Eligibility

  • Any Elks scholar that is 18 or older by the start of the trip.
  • Any Elks scholar with an interest in a meaningful service experience.
  • You must be available for the entire duration of the trip.
  • Preference will be given to first-time service trip attendees.
  • Alumni are able to attend, but preference will be given to current undergraduate scholars in good standing.

Cost

  • You are responsible for planning, booking, and covering the cost of your travel to the trip location. All other expenses (food, lodging, recreation) will be covered by the ENF.
  • If selected, you must provide a $25 participation fee within seven days of acceptance to the trip.
  • The ENF will provide a $100 travel stipend to all scholars selected to attend, and there will be an opportunity to apply for additional need-based funding.
