Discovery

Discovery is an engaging enrichment program which offers STEAM, Social Emotional Learning, and health/wellness activities to nearly 1,000 metro Atlanta’s K-5 youth at Title 1 schools, two Saturdays a month from October - April. During these sessions, students participate in educational activities, connect with peers, and express their creativity. In addition to fun and educational activities, students receive light snacks and take-home snacks at each session.

PROGRAMS + INITIATIVES

STEAM

Students participate in activities teaching concepts including robotics, coding, and science experiments.

SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING

Students learn to identify their emotions, respect and care for others, show initiative in taking responsibility, cultivate strong relationships, and respond to adverse situations. 

HEALTH+WELLNESS

Students learn through interactive activities how they can make choices that promote a healthy and active lifestyle, including nutrition lessons and fitness games. Students also receive a healthy breakfast and take-home snacks while attending Discovery.

VOLUNTEER AT DISCOVERY

Discovery is supported by over 1,000 community volunteers every year. Volunteers interact with students in a fun and structured environment, helping them gain new skills and visualize brighter futures. Consistent and positive relationships have always been instrumental in a student’s healthy development. As such, our preference is for volunteers with the capacity to support multiple Discovery sessions, but the opportunity to support individual sessions remains open as well.
