Discover Worlds is an entirely student-run 501c3 non-profit organization. We focus on students using their TALENTS to make a difference in what they are PASSIONATE about. Whether you are interested in sports, public speaking, acting, writing, you can join the Discover Worlds team to raise awareness and make a difference! Additionally we train youth in inner-city and rural areas across the world to riase awareness within their own communities. For example we have inner city youth in the U.S. talk to schools in their area about issues such as violence and gangs. Our chapter in Rwanda is made up of very educated students who go into rural villages to talk about issues such as HIV/AIDS, human rights, and nutrition. This program is a sustainable way that students can help their own community. We have speakers around the United States who talk about issues such as the hunanitarian crisis in Darfur, ending extreme poverty, global warming, and more! We also have programs that TAKE ACTION on extreme poverty. We have set up a sponsor-an-orphan program in Rwanda. Since Rwanda is so overpopulated, its very important for youth to get a college education to come out of extreme poverty. This is why we have set up a scholarship program for orphans of the genocide and of HIV/AIDS. The highest achieving orphans can have their college education covered! We also work with setting up sister school programs. An elementary or middle school in the United States can adopt a school in rural developing countries and help them with their basic materials such as pens, books, and uniforms. Discover Worlds is really made of students across the United States and world who really want to make a difference on the issues they care about most! While we are based around the world, our primary locations are at Duke University, Harvard University and Northern NJ high schools.
