…on education and leadership development is demonstrated by creating positive opportunities for its students, building confidence in their academic potential, and opening up possibilities. We work with multiple community sources, including high school principals and counselors, to identify students that are at risk due to socio-economic factors, unstable family environments, lack of academic progress, and those saddling on the fringes of the justice system. We operate an after school center, called THE HUB, Monday’s through Thursday’s. Through THE HUB, PROPEL is able to provide homework assistance to an average of 80 students on a weekly basis. THE HUB establishes a positive learning environment for our students. It consists of classrooms and a computer lab staffed with certified tutors and advanced degreed educators to provide individualized assistance to our students in subject areas such as math, reading, and science. THE HUB allows us to help students with SAT/ACT prep, college planning, applications, and resume writing. PROPEL addresses the issue of food poverty by providing well balanced and nutritious meals, four days each week.
