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 midset 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.

Programs

1 program

The fellowship initiative (tfi) program is a cohort-based mentorship program that seeks to connect young men of color to postsecondary education. Tfi fellows meet weekly during the school year with discoveru staff to receive tutoring, test prep, and college access services. During the summer tfi fellows participate in college and career preparatory programs we call flos. The goals of the program are for the cohort to achieve 100% high school graduation and 100% acceptance into a post-secondary education program
