Volunteer / Oakland
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Juma in Oakland! From volunteering at the ballpark to academic tutoring in our downtown Oakland office, there are lots of ways to get involved and support our mission.

If you are interested in corporate group volunteer opportunities, please contact Heather Saunders, Chief Development Officer, at heathers@juma.org.
As part of our educational support services, Juma exposes youth to different academic and career paths. Help introduce young people to a career pathway that they may have never thought about before by hosting a workplace tour for a group of motivated high school students. During the career tour, youth and volunteers will have the opportunity to connect and discuss experiences within their workplace and how education played a role in their current position.
JumaLink is our annual summer networking event that brings together our high school and college youth with professionals from diverse fields and educational backgrounds. This event allows our youth to practice their networking skills and gain insight on potential educational and career opportunities.We are currently in the planning stages for JumaLink 2018 which is expected to take place in July.
Throughout the year we host professional development workshops for youth at our Oakland office and are always looking for volunteers who are interested in facilitation to assist us in curriculum delivery. In the past topics have included resume building/editing, mock interviewing, personal branding, etc.
Juma: Noun/joo-ma/ 'Work' in multiple African dialects.
