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.

We envision the day when all young people demonstrate the ability to translate their personal vision into reality. To realize this vision, we focus our efforts on one mission; to provide resources and learning experiences that broaden the worldview of economically disadvantaged
