Encouraging the Future Generation: Jamarr Myers ('06 & '08)

Jamarr D. Myers graduated from Roberts in 2006 with a degree in Business Administration and again in 2008 with a Master’s in Strategic Leadership.

Myers is the EnCompass Future Ready Program Coordinator.  As a teen, he was part of the Hillside School to Work Program which resulted in employment at Wegmans and scholarship money for college. Myers worked for 18 years at Wegmans and helped to launch a new store in Maryland. In the Fall ‘19, he was asked to transition from employment at Wegmans to full-time leadership of the youth development program (EnCompass) supported by both the Wegmans and the Sands Foundation. EnCompass, focuses on youth development with a special emphasis on education and job readiness.

Jamarr and his brother, Jermayne, founded Black Men Achieve (Roc BMA). Roc BMA also has an awards program to highlight black men who have made a positive impact on the Rochester community. He was awarded our 2020 Rochesterian Award for being an outstanding alum.

Gifts to the Roberts Fund impact students who will graduate and make a difference in the world, just like Jamarr!
