Youth Programs

Youth Development is a process that prepares a young person to meet the challenges of adolescence and adulthood and achieve his or her full potential. Discover You™ builds youth development through activities and experiences that help youth develop social, ethical, emotional, physical, and cognitive competencies. Our self-authored lesson plans provide educators and youth development professionals with activities and discussion prompts specifically designed to help young people develop the skills needed to thrive.
