Project Title: Juma Seattle YouthConnect Program
Project Description:

Juma Ventures Seattle (Juma Seattle) strives to break the cycle of poverty by paving the way to work, education and financial capability for low-income youth across Seattle/King County.

Our YouthConnect program supports Seattle-area youth who have experienced systemic racism (96% identify as BIPOC), grown up in poverty, experienced abuse, spent time in foster care, been homeless or faced other barriers to employment.

The program combines employment and training at our social enterprises (concession stands at Climate Pledge Arena, Husky Stadium, Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park) with services focused on helping youth earn a paycheck, learn job skills, find their next job and set out on a path to a well-paying career.

Since launching in 2013, Juma Seattle has hired over 800 Seattle-area low-income youth who, in addition to collectively earning over $2.5 million in wages, have taken the first step toward a more stable and successful future.

Total Project Budget: $1,363,658
