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 2017-2018 school year, over 560 volunteers contributed their time teaching nearly 14,000 K-12 students in 797 classrooms. JA of Maine hopes to increase these numbers this upcoming academic year and welcomes new volunteers.
