We Are Volunteers
Our mission is to help our neighbors and all Wyoming communities thrive.
Sure, Wyoming Elks lodges are great places to meet and gather with friends and family, but they are far more than that. Our lodges invest in our communities through financial assistance, student scholarships, veterans’ assistance, community service, drug awareness programs and much, much more.
Why We Are Elks?
Many of us joined because our parents or grandparents were Elks or we joined just to be social. But we stay Elks because we want to give back and be part of something bigger than ourselves.
