About This Cause
Together, we are the catalysts, opening minds and doors, and providing a place and support for our youth to grow. - Driving systems change by investing financial resources leaders and communities - Providing access to paid learning and internship opportunities. - Fostering a teaching and learning organization creating program for youth to see themselves as confident and capable scientific leaders. ELSO programs include: - Wayfinders is a STEAMED-based camp for K - 8 students that combines science and nature, helping kids develop environmental literacy and a love for learning. Wayfinders camps offer week-long adventures in nature, science projects, and guest lectures from professionals. Our camps are designed to foster a lifelong love of learning and curiosity about the world. - Tappin’ Roots: an internship program for high school students in the Greater Portland area. TR seeks to train and empower the next generation of local leaders using Storytelling, Mentorship, Career exploration, Place-based learning, and Healing practices - Studio Justice, ELSO’s design program, which is made up of paid after-school programs and outreach events for youth ages 14-20 to learn about design as a tool enabling leadership and agency for youth. Our programs aim to expand our youth’s STEAMED career pathways to include professions in the built environment while widening their exposure to green sector careers. Through this vital opportunity, participants can find their STEAMED identities and learn about designing public spaces, the power of place, and health equity. There are no student fees for design program events. Instead, we ensure youth participants receive a scholarship stipend to support growth in STEAMED learning and related careers.
