Juma Ventures' innovative program has received significant media attention since our inception in 1993, most of it highlighting the uniqueness and effectiveness of Juma's integrated model of job creation and program services for youth.

Juma's approach is often presented as an example for other nonprofit organizations to learn from as they consider and develop their own social enterprises and youth programming.
