Jeremiah Program

Minneapolis

2022 was a time of incredible growth for our Minneapolis and St. Paul campuses. We celebrated ten amazing women as they graduated with their post-secondary degrees. Twentyfour moms participated in our new Career Volunteer Mentor Program, and nearly 50 kids participated in high-quality summer enrichment opportunities to further support their educational development — increasing the chances of economic mobility for both generations.

Community Celebration

JUNE 15, 2023 | 5:00 pM CT

Join us on the Minneapolis campus of the Jeremiah Program as we celebrate 25 years with JP families, alumni, supporters, and staff! We’ll have food, fun, entertainment, activities for the kids, tours of the Minneapolis campus, and you’ll have the opportunity to meet JP President and CEO Chastity Lord.


LAST YEAR, WE IMPACTED 657 LIVES,
SERVING 33% MORE FAMILIES THAN IN 2021.

“To be able to go back and go to college, surrounded by all these women that were on the same journey … it was just a phenomenal experience. That was the first time I ever felt safe in my life. I think I spent the first year just looking around me, looking at my kids and my furniture, and the fact that I was in my home and I was safe. To have that space, that mental and physical space, allowed me to grow tremendously.”

Christine, Minneapolis alum

IN 2022, moms engaged in 2,500+ family coaching sessions supporting their college persistence and family stability.

The impacts of generational poverty and systemic racism can be disrupted two generations at a time by investing both in a mother’s vision for her future and the education of her children.
