As we move into a different stage of the ongoing pandemic, some events organizers are choosing to create hybrid or in-person events. We encourage our members and the public to exercise caution and best judgment that takes into account their personal status as well as community care.

Use the Businesses We Love Outreach Bank to sign up to email, or walk into, businesses (up to two of your favorites), tell them why you love them, and share more about Ujima. Encourage them to reach out to the Ujima Fund Management Team.

The Study Team

1(64).png

The Ujima Neighborhood Economic Study Group has been sunsetted. We now have two new opportunities for members to co-create Ujima with us: The Study Team and Participatory Planning Team!

The Study Team will meet every second Wednesday, and the next meeting is Wednesday, September 14th, 2022. The Study Team is co-coordinated by Ujima members, who choose a new topic of study for each meeting.

Participants will come together each session to discuss, read, watch and learn together. No prior experience or readings will be necessary.

There is also space for members to coordinate study groups on additional topics of interest. Please email comms@ujimaboston.com if you are interested in getting involved or want more information!


Internship Opportunities

We need your help to find great interns to grow our team. Ujima is offering these internship opportunities on an ongoing basis. Please share widely!
