Transforming communities & changing lives one child at a time.

OUR HISTORY

Where We Started

PROPEL, Inc.; People Reaching Out to Provide Education & Leadership was founded in 2004 with a mission to support academic advancement, leadership development, and post-secondary planning for middle and high school-aged students who attend Title 1 schools.  PROPEL is dedicated to supporting the academic and social-emotional needs of the most vulnerable in our community. Providing programming to adolescents who are systemically underserved, PROPEL fosters self-sufficiency and supports the development of strategies to overcome obstacles.

Programs & Services

PROPEL offers many educational opportunities to prepare its students to be industrious, creative, caring and productive citizens as well as lifelong learners. The academic, career, social, and emotional needs of all students are best met when there is a cooperative approach among the program staff, students, and parents.
