Welcoming CFR’s New Partner Program Manager!
Please join us in welcoming CFR's newest team member!
We are excited to introduce CFR’s new Partner Program Manager, Jeruel “JT” Taylor, who
joined us in June. JT is an excellent communicator and values collaborative work – two critical
attributes to excel in his role supporting our partners.
In addition to being the primary point of contact for all partner communication and support, JT
will be instrumental in maintaining and strengthening systems that optimize our partnerships.
His work will directly impact our work with partners to reach more individuals that may benefit
from CFR’s financial products. Meet JT below!
With a focus on continuous improvement and collaborative partnership, JT is dedicated to
fostering inclusive economic growth and community well-being. He brings several years of
dedicated experience in the nonprofit sector and is passionate about creating pathways to
success for marginalized communities. His background is in leveraging skills in relationship-
building, project management and workforce development to make a meaningful impact.
Prior to joining CFR, JT spearheaded initiatives to provide tailored services to support formerly
incarcerated and unhoused individuals. His experience includes developing and implementing
processes and procedures to address quality assurance and compliance issues for workforce
development grantees; and managing customized training programs for in-demand, living-wage
careers, aligning training with market needs and participant aspirations.
JT obtained his master’s and bachelor’s degree from Illinois State University. He currently
resides in Nashville, TN with his wife, Miranda, and their five-year-old brindle fur baby named
Finn. In his free time, JT enjoys early morning workouts, hikes, listening to new music, and
discovering new fantasy fiction novels.
