The May 3, 2017 luncheon meeting will feature a program by Emilia Diamant, MSW, who is the Executive Director of the Jeremiah Program-Boston.

Jeremiah works with low income single moms and their children to help transition families from poverty to prosperity, two generations at a time. 

Emilia will share the Jeremiah mission, vision, and perhaps most importantly, how the program began. Jeremiah's founding is an inspiring example of how an individual can transform their community by creating change from within. Started in 1998, Jeremiah Program works with low-income single mothers and their young children to help families break the cycle of poverty, two generations at a time. Jeremiah's model is centered on relationships, which its visionary founder, Michael O'Connell, baked into the DNA of their work. Emilia will also be joined by a Jeremiah Program participant, who will share her experiences.
