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.
"I'd like to meet with someone knowledgeable in exercise/yoga/fitness, to recommend a regimen to get back in shape! I'm hoping to focus on general wellbeing and de-stressing on top of the fitness aspect. Thanks!"

Connect w/ Businesses We Love
Hey Ujima Members, we need your help. If you have named companies as a "Business We Love," ask them to join the UGBA! This is a volunteer opportunity and it will be up to you to reach out to your favorite businesses, share why you love them, and tell them about Ujima and our mission.
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.
