Jamarr D. Myers (’06, ’08) is shaping a brighter future for Rochester’s youth.
After earning both his Business Administration degree and a Master’s in Strategic Leadership from Roberts, Jamarr spent 18 years at Wegmans, rising through the ranks and helping launch a new store in Maryland.
In 2019, he was asked to lead EnCompass, a youth development initiative supported by Wegmans and the Sands Foundation. The program guides students toward academic success, career readiness, and personal growth.
Jamarr also co-founded Black Men Achieve (Roc BMA) with his brother Jermayne to celebrate and elevate the impact of Black men in the Rochester area. The organization includes an awards program honoring community role models.
He received Roberts’ Rochesterian Award in 2020. It’s a testament to what happens when education is personal, purpose-driven, and rooted in something bigger.
