Meet the 2024-2025 Jeremiah Program Alumni Fellows
JP is proud to announce the members of the 2024-2025 Jeremiah Program Alumni Fellowship, a selective, 12-month, cohort-based leadership program.
Jeremiah Program is building an alumni network that champions the collective power of sisterhood and is anchored in the currency of being a great mom. We believe that JP alumni are best equipped to support programming that will keep current moms and alumni moms centered in the principles of disrupting generational poverty. The JP Alumni Fellowship — a selective, 12-month, cohort-based leadership program — is central to this effort.
JP Alumni Fellows are leaders who see being a great mom as their most important job. They are excited about the opportunity to be a part of a learning community as they navigate inflection points in their personal and professional lives. From a broader perspective, JP fellows care deeply about their communities and welcome the chance to advance solutions that support economic mobility, public policy, and two-generation programming for single mothers and their children experiencing poverty by exploring their leadership journey.
We are proud to introduce the 2024-2025 cohort of JP Alumni Fellows, who recently kicked off their tenure in Las Vegas. They are excited and ready for a powerful experience.
