This year's winter service trip will take place in Tampa, Florida from January 3rd-7th, 2023. Scholars will stay at a hotel in the Tampa Bay Area. In Tampa, scholars will have the opportunity to do disaster relief work, learn from and work with various other community organizations, explore the city, and meet local Elks. Each night, we will end with meaningful programming and reflection.
For the safety of our scholars and the populations we're serving, all scholars will be required to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination. Want to go but can't afford it? Check out our fundraising page for advice on how to get the funds you need, then reach out to scholarship@elks.org for a link to our Travel Fund application.
All scholars are encouraged to apply. You do not need to be in school to attend this, or any, Elks Scholar Service Trips.
One scholar who went on our 2022 Seattle Trip said, “The highlight of the trip was doing hands on work and collaborating as a team with the other scholars…I also loved connecting with other scholars while seeing the city and gaining new experiences.”
