Discovery Education

Our children are the future of our community. Through service learning, the Uncover KC Discovery Education Program provides opportunities for students to become active leaders within their schools and communities.

We facilitate project-based community service, volunteer outings, guest speakers, and innovative educational technology to foster students’ social emotional learning, respect, self-worth, and empathy. The program also enhances students’ workforce skills while increasing their authentic social impact, all through experiential learning.
