Mission
The mission of ELSO Incorporated is to catalyze learning and expand access to positive career outcomes for a more just future for all. Significant programs and services at ELSO Incorporated include K-8 academic and enrichment programs for experiential nature based learning; secondary education programs focus on paid learning and introduction to career pathways in the natural and built environment. Post-Secondary programs focus on paid workforce development through college and career training with hands-on work experience. We host nature-focused community outreach events such as the Harvest Party. Our Community and Learning Services projects focus on redefining outdoor learning for community resilience. Programming has expanded to geographical regions beyond Oregon into SE Texas. The infrastructure of organizational finances accurately tracks both revenue and expenses attributed to activities outside of the Pacific Northwest.
