Jeremiah Program

Headquartered in minneapolis, mn, Jeremiah Program continues to expand throughout the country to meet the growing demand for its model. The organization has campuses in minneapolis and st. paul, mn, rochester-se, mn, austin, tx, and fargo, nd, boston, ma, brooklyn, ny, baltimore, md and las vegas, nv. In 2022, jp partnered with 787 moms and their 1,318 children across the country. Jp provides life-changing experiences for moms and kids. Beginning with empowerment training, moms start to unravel the damaging narratives placed on low-income women, (especially women of color and especially single moms), and reassert their role as experts in their own lives. After completing empowerment, jp's ongoing programming ensures families have access to the resources every family needs to thrive: stable housing in jp's affordable housing units or through community housing partners, career-track education at a local postsecondary institution, high quality early childhood education at jp's child development centers or local partner schools, and a supportive community of peers and caring staff. The interplay of 2gen supports creates the conditions for mothers and children to tap into their unique strengths strengths that are obscured, not eliminated, by the stress of living in poverty.
