Discover Year’s mission is to help students build a sense of personal agency and become more adaptable in their surroundings, thus empowering them to take action toward their goals and make well-informed, purposeful decisions about their future that align with their intrinsic motivations. The Discover Year integrates experiential learning, self-discovery and skill development into a meaningful year away from formal education. DY’s inspiring and enriching community of mentors serves as a support system within which students can explore their authentic interests, values and strengths.
Discover Year’s approach to personal and career development is quite different from the traditional model of education. This structured gap year blends work, travel, community service, skills workshops, mentorship and career coaching to help set its participants on a journey toward significance.
