About this organization
Mission
We envision the day when every young person has access to high-quality, out-of-school learning experiences that give them the skills, confidence, and mindset to advocate for their own success. To achieve its Vision, DiscoverU helps youth successfully apply and gain admission to and complete high-quality, out-of-school learning experiences and advocates for the inclusion of experiential learning in the policies and practices of educational systems.
About
Our Fantastic Learning Opportunities (FLO) Program consists of a multi-tiered approach that connects our citys most disadvantaged youth to life-changing learning experiences in college and career preparatory programs. Funded, planned, and executed by a wide-range of community constituents, FLOs are often untapped by low-income communities due to lack of awareness, skill, and financial resources. Our program services, detailed below, respond to these obstacles:1. Access to information2. Financial Services and Support3. Capacity Building for Schools and Districts4. Leadership Skills Development
