In Focus

The In Focus event series was established in 2015 with the help of the Maine Development Foundation and the Realize Maine Network who provided a grant to fund the first initial events.

​Today the In Focus event series has brought together hundreds of community members and continues to provide a means for young people to learn about nonprofits, identify opportunities to volunteer, offer free professional services, and serve on nonprofit boards within the Greater Portland area.
​
Stemming from the In Focus event series, PROPEL has created the New Mainer Culinary Entrepreneur Program to support New Mainer, culinary entrepreneurs.
