I have been a Juma Ventures volunteer & donor over the past 3 years. The young men & women I have met and worked with in Juma's youth entrepreneur program have had the unique opportunity to work and network with professional mentors in the community to help them determine the higher education and career path they want to pursue. The youth who participate in Juma's program learn important values and skills such as financial planning, business plan development, sales & marketing that helps them determine their path to college along with their professional dreams & ambitions. Juma Ventures is an excellent program that should be commended and acknowledged for the invaluable youth services and support they provide to their community.

I have had the opportunity to witness the positive effects of Juma Ventures activities over the past several years. Based on their commitment to their mission, as well as ability to deliver on it, I have been both a corporate as well as a personal donor to the program. They have set up an organization that empowers youths to provide themselves with the tools and support that they need to enter into, and succeed at, college. Their program not only provides this support, but also allows participants to develop the self-confidence that comes from earning your own way through life.

I'm a parent. I'm also a donor to Juma Ventures. They rock~ Their work is exceptional with the youth, youth leave the program inspired, trained and ready to face the challenges of the world. I've also been a consumer of services where Juma Ventures youth were working, and they give customer service a whole new meaning~ What more can I say? Juma Ventures gets our vote as a great non-profit. (They get a check every year, too.)

Juma Ventures provided the youth at our program with an excellent financial management training that was perfect for their skill level. It was accessible, free and a great tool that we continue to use in our organization.

Juma is an amazing organization. I have known them since 1995 and remain a bigger fan and supporter today than ever. I've seen them continue to refine their model throughout the years to deepen their impact with young people. One of the things I most admire about them is that they've remained completely focused on their core mission through the years I've known them. An absolutely top notch organization.
