Jeremiah Program

Last month, JP moms, alumni, kids, staff, community partners, and friends gathered in Baltimore, MD, for our fourth annual summit! Themed “The Power of Community,” the event brought together moms and alumni from all nine campuses to celebrate the JP sisterhood.

You may know the adage, “It takes a village,” and it’s true. The strength of the collective is at the heart of everything we do at JP. We all thrive when moms have the opportunity to bet on themselves and their children, achieving success two generations at a time.
