Project Discovery

Get Involved

Volunteers play a vital role in Project Discovery’s mission to help students achieve post-secondary success. The Advisory Council always seeks community members to join the team and share resources. Lastly, donations of essentials are always welcome and greatly appreciated (e.g., toothbrushes, toothpaste, Chapstick, small lotions, deodorant, body soap). Thank you!
