Headquartered in minneapolis, MN, jeremiah program continues

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 as well as non-residential campuses in boston, MA and Brooklyn, NY. In 2021, jp partnered with 629 moms and their 954 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.

Mission

Part 1: to end the cycle of poverty for single mothers and their children, two generations at a time. - Part 3: jeremiah program (jp) offers one of the nation's most successful strategies for transforming families from poverty to prosperity two generations at a time. The organization believes that no mother should have to make the untenable choice between investing in herself and her children. Their holistic approach allows families to dream what is possible when they are able to bring all their identities to bear in pursuit of their goals.Jp believes that the impacts of poverty and systemic racism can be disrupted through a two-generation (2gen) approach - investing in the dreams and voices of women and the education of their children. Jp understands that the intersection of race and gender discrimination comes to a head for single mothers of color, which is why jp programming unapologetically focuses on dismantling the proven and institutional barriers that stand in the way of their success.
