ELEMENTAL AWARENESS

Elemental Awarness is an organization designed to promote wilderness conservation and survival skills to young people through skateboarding. The program was started by Mike Kershnar and Todd Larson. The idea of the program is to promote environmental values to kids in a way that will get them interested and enthusiastic, which for many is through skateboarding.

Another goal of EA is to promote skateboarding, since it is a much healthier hobby than drugs or crime, which many of these kids would otherwise be involved with. They do this by providing scholarships to skate camps, taking kids to professional skating facilities, and letting them meet with professional skaters.

Elemental Awareness is officially endorsed and primarily funded by Element Skateboards. The wilderness survival and conservation aspect of Elemental Awareness is also officially recognized by Tom Brown and his school of trackers.
