Spotlight: Jeremiah Program

How it Started

Jeremiah Program was founded in 1993 to engage the community in breaking the cycle of poverty for the growing number of children being born to single mothers living in poverty. 

They have expanded to serve families in cities outside of Minnesota including Austin, Fargo, Boston and Brooklyn, and continue to grow.

What they Do

Jeremiah Program helps disrupt the cycle of poverty for single mothers and their children, two generations at a time so no mother has to make the untenable choice between investing in herself and her children.

They take a wholistic approach built upon 5 pillars:

• Career-track college education
• Quality early childhood education
• Access to safe and affordable housing
• Empowerment and life skills training, and a
• Supportive community

This holistic approach of the program allows families to dream what is possible when they are able to bring all of their identities to bear in pursuit of their goals.
