About Jeremiah Program

Jeremiah Program (JP) is a nonprofit organization helping single mothers invest in themselves so they can thrive and take steps towards economic mobility by helping them access higher education, affordable childcare, housing, skills training, and career development. JP envisions a world where poverty is no longer feminized; where race is not divorced from gender; where career and financial opportunities are not gentrified; and where women who experience poverty not only hold a seat at the table but hold the mic and curate the agenda.

Jeremiah Program offers one of the nation’s most successful strategies for disrupting poverty, two generations at a time. At JP, they believe that no mother should have to make the untenable choice between investing in herself or supporting her children. Their holistic approach invites single mothers into the leadership tent and encourages families to bring all of their identities to bear in achieving their goals in pursuit of economic mobility.

The Opportunity

The Executive Director is an unapologetic champion for JPs two-generation mission and is driven to disrupt generational poverty by holding single mothers and their families at the center of holistic, integrated supports. The Executive Director is responsible for carrying out the two-generation mission of the program, maintaining strong community partnerships, working closely with a local community board of trustees to raise the annual 900K revenue goal and support in managing the financial operations and development of program goals, and managing a team of six full-time staff that ensures the coordination of all campus operations. 

The ED partners with and is supported by JP’s National Campus Support Team (CST) in the areas of Talent & HR, Finance, IT and Operations, Development, Marketing & Communications, Parent Programming and Two-Generational Programming. The Executive Director (ED) role works closely with the CEO & President and is an essential member of JP’s Leadership Team responsible for discussing, influencing, and implementing high priority organizational decisions.
