Jeremiah Program (JP) offers one of the nation’s most successful strategies for disrupting the cycle of poverty for single mothers and their children, two generations at a time. Two-generation — or 2Gen — programs uniquely focus on the whole family and achieve long-term, sustainable results. The approach has been proven to achieve significant educational, health, and economic benefits for parents, children, and communities.

Beginning with empowerment training, moms start to unravel the damaging narratives placed on low-income women, especially women of color and single moms, and reassert their role as experts in their own lives. After completing empowerment, JP’s ongoing programming ensures that families have access to the resources every family needs to thrive: stable housing in JP’s affordable housing units or through community housing partners, career-track education at a local post-secondary institution, high-quality early childhood education at JP’s Child Development Centers or local partner schools, and a supportive community of peers and caring staff.
