PROPEL
Programs.

Three programs. One journey.

Every student's path is different. Some are just beginning to discover who they are. Others are preparing for college, careers and life beyond graduation. Some spend the summer exploring new experiences, building confidence and making lifelong friendships.

No matter where a student begins, every PROPEL experience is built on the same foundation: relationships, opportunity and people who believe in their future.

Support that grows
with every student.

Different by design. Connected by relationships.

Three ways we move
students forward.

Every student's journey begins in a different place, but it never happens alone.

PROPEL Forward is where students discover who they're becoming through trusted relationships, academic support and meaningful experiences.

PROPEL Pathways helps students turn confidence into action by exploring scholarships, college, careers, certifications and real-world opportunities.

PROPEL P.L.A.Y. creates unforgettable summer experiences where students discover new strengths, deepen friendships and continue growing outside the classroom.

Different experiences.
One connected journey.

It starts with relationships.

We know their names.

Before we teach a lesson, help with homework, plan for college or introduce a career opportunity, we build relationships.

That's what makes every PROPEL program feel connected. Students don't simply move from one program to another. They grow with the same people beside them.

We Know Their Names.

Relationships come first. Every student is seen, heard and valued—not as a number but as a person.

We Open Doors.

Students meet professionals, explore careers, visit colleges and discover opportunities they may have never imagined.

We Stay.

Graduation isn't goodbye.
Students become alumni.
Alumni become mentors.
Mentors become coaches.
PROPEL becomes family.

We Build Leaders.

Leadership isn't something students learn once. It's something they practice every day through service, responsibility, teamwork and real-world experiences.

One mission.

Three ways to grow.

Every student's journey is unique, but no one walks it alone. Whether a student is discovering who they are, preparing for what's next or exploring new experiences during the summer, every PROPEL program is designed to build confidence, create opportunity and help young people reach their full potential.

Explore the experience that's right for your student today and see how each program builds on the next.
