DiscoverU

DiscoverU DiscoverU is a 501c3 organization committed to connecting disadvantaged youth to life-changing educational opportunities beyond the traditional classroom.

The DiscoverU and our signature program - Fantastic Learning Opportunities™ - began in 2007 to ensure every student develops the necessary knowledge and skills to graduate from high school, pursue and earn a college degree. To this end, we focus on connecting low-income, disadvantaged youth to novel learning experiences outside the traditional high school classroom to expand their aspirations and

develop the personal, social and emotional skills essential for college success. We work in partnership with high schools and community-based organizations committed to ensuring more students are prepared to make it to and through college. We realize our mission by providing three critical services:
• Identification, selection and evaluation of powerful programs for our portfolio of FLOs™
• Training and support to establish and implement highly effective programs in our partnership schools
• Needs-based financial assistance (scholarships) to offset the costs of tuition, travel and supplies for participating in FLOs™
