Working alongside single mothers and their children to disrupt the cycle of poverty two generations at a time.
About us
Jeremiah Program is a national organization with a mission to disrupt the cycle of poverty for single mothers and their children, two generations at a time. When a mother invests simultaneously in her personal and professional goals and the education of her children, she can re-author her family’s outcomes and act as a change agent within her community. We know this because we see the proof points every day in our classrooms and on our campuses. JP offers one of the nation’s most successful strategies for disrupting poverty, two generations at a time. At JP, we believe that no mother should have to make the untenable choice between investing in herself or supporting her children. Our holistic approach invites single mothers into the leadership tent and encourages families to bring all of their identities to bear in achieving their goals. Founded in 1993, JP is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with campuses in nine cities nationwide. As demand for the JP model increases, we are expanding in new cities with both residential and non-residential models.

Navigating work while managing child care is a challenge many parents face, but it’s even more critical for single moms. Affordable child care isn’t just a personal matter — it often determines if mothers can remain in the workforce. Investing in our child care infrastructure is an opportunity for policymakers to invest in families and our workforce and strengthen the economy.

To upend generational poverty, we must target all systems of influence. A mom’s investment in herself and her family is just one part.
