In response to the impact of COVID-19, Disco is an Olympic themed, team-based virtual experience created for students in grades 3-5 to engage in fun and interactive activities while at-home. Our goal is to beat isolation in the virtual education space and provide a safe space for students.

During these sessions, students will have the opportunity to do educational activities, connect with fellow classmates, and create a space of team comradery and creativity. The supplies are essential as they allow our students to complete the weekly activities and broaden their knowledge around important themes such as math, financial literacy, STEAM, history, and other focus areas. Traditionally, this program is known as Discovery when in-person.

Discover Your Impact at Discovery

For the last 28 years, volunteers have been working with students at elementary schools teaching health and wellness, STEM concepts, social and emotional learning (SEL), and more through the Hands On Atlanta Discovery program.

To learn more about this impact program, I sat down with Candice White, Discovery Program Manager, to learn more about why Discovery is so important (now in 11 Title 1, public schools covering from Smyrna to East Point, serving nearly 1,400 students - almost 90% of them receiving free and reduced lunch) and how volunteers, like you, can get involved.
