Propel Ohio is a leadership program that promotes civic engagement and inspires undergraduate students to grow into civic leaders in Ohio. The Propel Ohio program includes a one-day statewide conference in the fall and five regional gatherings in the winter and spring.
Propel Ohio 2017 will actively engage with college students on issues that affect childhood poverty, including food security, inequities in education, and homelessness.
U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown, guest speakers, and workshop facilitators will discuss how college students can tackle these challenges in their Ohio communities. Propel Ohio will also feature an Internship Fair, where students will connect with Ohio-based organizations that are tackling childhood poverty.
