Jeffrey Abramowitz

RESIDENCE: PHILADELPHIA

A former trial lawyer, Jeffrey spent six years in federal prison. Upon his release, he lived in shelters and saw firsthand the barriers preventing successful reentry into society for the formerly incarcerated. He has since dedicated his life to helping justice-impacted individuals find a path forward through educational justice and workforce development, and serves as the CEO of The Petey Greene Program, a national nonprofit with the same mission.

What does it mean to be part of the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon Team Inspire?

“Being selected for Team Inspire is an extraordinary honor and an opportunity to represent the determination of adult learners and justice-impacted individuals who overcome barriers every day. Each mile will remind me that our past does not define our future—and that education, perseverance, and opportunity can change the trajectory of a life.”
