Community youth participated in the annual Environmental Leadership and Knowledge Seminar (ELKS) program held from July 13-14 at Justice and Regulatory building. Students were able to learn about environmental issues and awareness through experiments and hands on activities as well as the STEM field. The program is free for all local Native youth interested in environmental studies.
