Through Propel Talent, we provide direct and financial support to help engaged young people and formerly incarcerated students explore careers in education, public policy, and social impact through hands-on experiences. As firm believers that those impacted by inequity are best suited to create positive change, we prioritize future leaders of color, immigrants, first-generation college students, people who are formerly incarcerated, and LGBTQ individuals.

The Propel Justice Fellowship is dedicated to assisting formerly incarcerated individuals as they reintegrate into society by facilitating access to networks, resources, and advocating for systemic change.
