What is Project Discovery?

Project Discovery of Virginia Inc. is a non-profit organization providing the essential resources needed, for students to successfully transition into post-secondary education.

Our mission is to increase the access to and prepare elementary through high school students for success in post-secondary education.

For nearly four decades, we’ve had the privilege of working with thousands of students across the Commonwealth of Virginia. Our program primarily assists students from low-to moderate-income families, or those who would be first-generation college students in their family.

An essential part to Project Discovery is taking students to visit college campuses. During these visits, our students get to meet with advisors, interact with other students and ultimately receive the first-hand college life insights.

We currently have 22 community-based programs across Virginia, serving students in 145 schools. Project Discovery provides a host of services and activities to help students plan their futures. Read more and discover all that we do!
