Jeremiah Program Snapshot
Founded in Minneapolis in 1998, Jeremiah Program (JP) is a national nonprofit organization
with a mission to disrupt the cycle of poverty for single mothers and their children, two
generations at a time. Last year, we partnered with more than 2,800 single moms, kids and
alumni across the country, including nearly 1,800 engaged in our full two-generation (2Gen)
programming. We launched new programs in Baltimore and Las Vegas at the end of 2022,
reaching our first 104 moms and kids in these communities and expanding our footprint to
nine US cities (Austin, TX; Baltimore, MD; Boston, MA; Brooklyn, NY; Fargo, ND; Las Vegas,
NV; Minneapolis, MN; St. Paul, MN; and Rochester-Southeast MN).
At JP, we believe being a great mom should not be a barrier to a college education. Our
whole-family approach supports single moms in attaining a two- or four- year degree while
also investing in the development of their young children — significantly improving the
likelihood of multigenerational social and economic mobility. When moms join JP, they step
into a space that recognizes and celebrates their strength and collective power. This
emphasis on moms supporting and uplifting other moms – and in doing so, transforming
their families and their communities – is what makes our program unique.
While JP remains committed to engaging with the daily realities of generational poverty
through direct programmatic supports, it is clear we cannot deliver on our mission without
also addressing the systems that make economic mobility elusive for so many of our families.
We are raising our responsibility to ensure we have a larger and more systemic impact by
challenging social stigmas about single motherhood and working to build power and
influence policy by centering the voices and experiences of JP moms — majority-BIPOC
leaders who are uniquely positioned to curate solutions to the structural inequities impacting
their day-to-day lives.
