About PROPEL
PROPEL is a non-profit with a mission of making Maine an easier place to both run a business and thrive as a young professional. The PROPEL board works hard to accomplish this task by leveraging strategic partnerships within the Maine community to compliment the efforts of its entrepreneurial board members. The programs we develop are designed to make it easier for local businesses to hire and develop talent in addition to helping young professionals build careers in Maine.
During the 2018-2019 school year, over 642 volunteers contributed their time teaching nearly 16,000 K-12 students in 878 classrooms. JA of Maine hopes to increase these numbers this upcoming academic year and welcomes new volunteers.
