Founded in Minneapolis, MN in 1998, Jeremiah Program came to Brownsville in Brooklyn in 2016 after seeing an opportunity to bring its nationally-recognized program model to single mother families living in the area. The Jeremiah Program aims to break the cycle of poverty for single mothers and their children, two generations at a time. The program provides key resources for families to ensure that the mothers complete a career track college education while also enabling their children to achieve academic success.
WellMet provided $25,000 in operating support to Jeremiah Program to build capacity and expand programs in the Brownsville neighborhood.
