WELCOME TO UJAMAA PLACE

When a Ujamaa man enrolls, chances are he is unemployed, homeless, and has a connection to the criminal justice system (the ladder often being the barrier to employment and stable housing). Ujamaa men test at a 4th – 8th grade reading, writing and math academic level at the time of enrollment and demonstrate deficiency in basic skills. 17% come from the foster care system. Because of these factors, you typically find Ujamaa men living on the margins of society. He may struggle with addiction. He comes from multi-generational,  systemic poverty. Without judgment, Ujamaa Place meets Ujamaa men where they’re at, and so, the transformation work begins.
