People Reaching Out to Provide Education and Leadership
Welcome
PROPEL is a
non-profit organization based in Boca Raton Florida. PROPEL believes in
providing a Hand Up instead of a Hand Out. The organization is
dedicated to creating positive change in underprivileged
communities. Providing individuals with the opportunities to complete
core education, gain vocational or technical training or continue on to
college is our greatest strength. Training and education converts
directly to career opportunities for our members

KIDS LEARN TO SWIM
Statistics show
that 70% of minority youth can not swim and are 2.6 times more likely to
die from a swimming accident. In a family that does not swim they are
8x's more likely to drown. Our goal is to get every participant in our
Learning for Life program qualified as a swimmer according to National
Standards set by the BSA. Our Program will now consider swimming and
essential Life Skill and will strive to make sure our participants
overcome this hurdle and learn to enjoy water activities with
confidence. Read
