the driving force

Why rural communities?

     Rural youth encounter many of the same challenges as their urban peers, yet research indicates that these challenges can be even more pronounced in rural areas. Violence in these communities are on the rise, the rural high school graduation rate stands at just 69.2%—9% below the national average—and over half (51%) of rural youth live in poverty. Additionally, only 62% of rural households have internet access, limiting opportunities for education and connection.

​

     Did you know that 20% of U.S. public school students attend rural schools, where funding for STEM, mentoring, and summer enrichment programs are scarce or nonexistent? While many successful individuals credit organizations like Be Propelled Foundation for their achievements, far fewer success stories emerge from rural communities due to a critical lack of resources and support.
