At the heart of Propeller’s mission lie our impact accelerators which provide mentorship, access to networks and financing, and focused curriculum to connect local innovators with the resources they need to impact our city and build sustainable businesses. We concentrate our time and resources on a select number of sector strategies in order to focus our impact on crucial issues. In the last four years, Propeller has successfully accelerated 90 ventures through the Impact Accelerator. Moving forward into 2016, we are expanding our program to accelerate over 40+ ventures each year. The next two years are a crucial turning point for Propeller and the VISTA program will be a critical component of expanding the accelerator programs an deeply impacting the most pressing issues in New Orleans in the areas of educational equity, healthy food, healthcare, and water. The AmeriCorps*VISTA members would be key to expanding the capacity of the organization to ensure we can successfully grow our programming, collect the data needed for evaluation, and develop new systems and processes organization-wide while optimally serving the entrepreneurs in our programs.
