DISRUPTING POVERTY TWO GENERATIONS AT A TIME

Our Approach

holistic support

Two-Generation Approach

One of the things that makes Jeremiah Program so unique is our commitment to centering the whole family through our two-generation framework.

A 2-gen approach builds family well-being by simultaneously working with children and their parents. Families are the experts and we work with them to create a support structure that addresses their unique challenges to achieving economic mobility.

JP’s five core pillars are anchored by personalized coaching to form a holistic, two-generational model.

Our work

Jeremiah Program’s Core Pillars

Through our holistic two-generation approach, single moms have the support to complete a college degree, chart their career path, and invest in their children’s education and social-emotional development.

COLLEGE ACCESS + CAREER SUPPORT

Mothers in JP regularly meet with a family coach, working to set educational goals and choose a career-track path. This individualized coaching increases college retention, career readiness, and long-term economic prosperity.

QUALITY EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

High-quality early learning sets children up for long-term success. We provide education for children up to age 5 in our on-site Child Development Centers at our residential campuses and connect families to quality early childhood programs in the community at our off-campus models.

SAFE + AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Housing enables mothers and their children to grow as families, succeed as students, and prepare for a career. We offer safe and affordable housing in our five residential campuses and in our off-campus models, we work with community partners to ensure that each family has secured safe housing.

EMPOWERMENT & LEADERSHIP TRAINING

Empowerment training is a 12-week course that is an admissions requirement for JP. The course helps moms combat stigmas often placed on single moms, set boundaries and goals, and build a powerful community of single moms from across the country.

SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY

Being a single mom can feel incredibly isolating. The JP sisterhood is a supportive and restorative community that allows moms to engage with other women experiencing the same challenges.
