JEP\u2019s signature programs again connected thousands of individuals whose paths might not otherwise cross, contributing to an extended family that returns to one another week after week, semester after semester, building trust through consistency and care.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">In a period marked by budget constraints, staff transitions, and uncertainty across higher education, JEP\u2019s multigenerational network provides a different narrative: one of neighbors, educators, and students coming together to sustain opportunities for young people and to ground academic life in shared responsibility. This annual report reflects that living family story\u2014one written in classrooms, community organizations, and on campus by all who call JEP home.<\/span>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Susan Harris,
