The Nauvoo Discovery Program is designed for Young Single Adult College Students between 18 and 35 who want an on-campus experience for a semester in Beautiful Nauvoo. Come from wherever you are in the world with online classes from the university you are enrolled in. The Nauvoo Discovery Program also welcomes Young Single Adults not currently enrolled in college. 

​

Join us for a Fall or Spring semester and complete your online classes while adding unique experiences from Nauvoo. Your stay here will include tours of the Nauvoo Historical sites and other museums, devotionals, NDP and YSA activities, and day trips to surrounding cities. There will be service opportunities for the city of Nauvoo and the local community. Learn and grow individually and spiritually here in Nauvoo for a semester with us.

​

Come and make new friends within the Nauvoo Discovery Program and the local YSA branch. Connect with the community, attend the temple, and build networks of faith and love by learning and serving with other Young Single Adults. All that’s missing is you! Come to Nauvoo. We’d love to share this experience with you.

Make Nauvoo Your Campus

Empower
Growth

Make Nauvoo your campus through the Nauvoo Discovery Program, where learning and growth happen in spaces rich with history and purpose. Students study, gather, and create community in the welcoming Manor House and the Discovery Headquarters—modern hubs designed to feel like home while supporting both spiritual and academic progress. As you walk the same streets once traveled by early Saints, you’ll feel the pioneer spirit that defines Nauvoo, inspiring resilience, faith, and a deeper sense of connection to the past and to build your own personal testimony.
