Jeremiah Program
Jeremiah Program is a nonprofit organization founded in 1993 whose mission aims to disrupt cycles of poverty for single mothers and their children. Jeremiah Program’s two-generation approach is holistic, innovative, inclusive. Mothers and children are provided with support for career-track college education, early childhood education, access to safe and affordable housing, life skills training, and a supportive community.
Jeremiah Program believes housing is the critical foundation that enables mothers and young children to grow as families, succeed as students, and prepare for a career. With residential campuses in Austin, Fargo, Minneapolis, Rochester, and St. Paul, Jeremiah Program has empowered over 4000 mothers and children in finding stability and a sustainable path out of poverty.
