Hi,

I received my admission from University of Florida and I’m overwhelmed. Is there anyone attending UF, or know others who will be attending?

I am pretty annxious about housing and navigating the social scene. And just generally anxious🙃

Good morning,

I am currently going through the process of applying to UK universities and am having trouble with my UCAS application. Is there anyone who has experience with this and can help me out? This is sort of time sensitive as the deadline is end of January.

Looking forward to hearing back.

Zissy

Disrupt the cycle of poverty for single mothers and their children two generations at a time.

Moms are at the center of what JP does. We know that trauma and systemic and structural inequities are woven through their realities as women experiencing poverty. JP provides the necessary support for moms in pursuit of economic mobility, but moms themselves are the best architects of the solutions to their families' challenges. And we're positioning JP moms to be those architects, impacting not only their families but also their communities.

A magazine for the JP Community

The power of Jeremiah Program moms over 25 years. That's what we're thinking about as we celebrate more than two decades of relationship-building, growth, sisterhood, community, and leadership - and that's what you'll read reflected in our Annual Report Magazine.

Learn how program alumni are shaping their communities and how their children, former JP kids, are doing as young adults. Find out how alumni are mentoring current JP moms. Imagine what can happen in a generation - and imagine what can happen in the next 25 years.

featured stories

Jessica Funderburk, one of the first Jeremiah Program Las Vegas moms, shares her experience of finding support, confidence, and family in JP.

Adrianee Powell was one of the first residents of the JP St. Paul campus. Now, she's the campus's newest early childhood teacher.

Uncovering the Root

Generational poverty is a social justice issue, not an economic one. JP's programming interrogates the roots of the racial and systemic inequalities impacting economic mobility and college entry for student parents, while also providing the support to help families complete college.

Refocusing the Conversation

Single moms experiencing poverty are, in fact, great moms. JP aims to disrupt entrenched stigmas about single mothers with new narratives. We do this by redistributing and building power by centering the voices and experiences of single moms. By changing the narrator, we change the narrative.

Expanding the Leadership Circle

Moms are experts of their lives. They are uniquely positioned to author solutions to the systemic and structural inequities that are woven through their realities as women experiencing poverty by leveraging movement-building frameworks that shift the power and policies impacting economic mobility.

Hi,

English isn’t my first language, nor is writing and it’s structural grammar something I am still comfortable with, and I’d love support with someone who can comment, review and help me edit my papers for graduate school. They’re mostly journals as of now, but it’s the MLA style I struggle to formulate. Thanks

Hi y'all. I'm not so much a recent graduate - got my BA from City College in 2012, and my PhD from the CUNY Grad Center in 2021, both in English. I taught at Lehman College, City College, BMCC, and Staten Island 2014-2022. I'm always open to chatting about resources at CUNY, getting and staying organized with multiple classes, etc. I'm reachable at dainybernstein@gmail.com.
