journey in 2017.
** Here's how donors helped Ujamaa men achieve success in 2017:
------------------------------------------------------------
* Stability
: Housing, education and employment
opportunities that resulted in a 2% recidivism rate, versus a 74% rate
nationally for young Black men.
* Education
(http://www.ujamaaplace.org/uploads/5/9/7/2/59728039/coreprogram.pdf) : GED
classes, construction certification training, film production classes,
financial literacy training and Nonviolence365, a 2-day education and
certification workshop facilitated by The King Center, based on Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr.'s methodology on nonviolence.
* Health & Wellness:
(http://www.startribune.com/minnesota-spends-90-million-on-mental-health-costs-for-patients-who-don-t-need-the-treatment/450926783/)
Healthcare insurance is available to all Ujamaa men who need it, enabling them
to address physical, behavior health and wellness needs. One of the key
pillars in Ujamaa Place's "Theory of Transformation", Health & Wellness is
wrapped around each young man enrolled in the Ujamaa Place ToT program.
* Crisis Care (http://www.ujamaaplace.org/our-staff.html) : Ujamaa Place added
4 new coaches to its team of 4, with a total of 8 coaches available to the men
24/7 to support their journey out chronic homelessness, unemployment and
systemic barriers that cause hopelessness and despair that results in men
re-entering the penal system. Coaches facilitate the stabilization and are
there to support Ujamaa men every step of the way through their
transformational journey.
* Belief (http://www.ujamaaplace.org/about-the-program.html) : "Belief" and
"Will" is at the heart of the Ujamaa Place Theory of Transformation (ToT), in a
culturally-centric program that has proven methods of giving Ujamaa men the
tools and resources required to transform their lives, saving taxpayers
thousands of dollars per man enrolled, compared to a criminal justice system
that incarcerates young black men at a significantly higher rate than white
men.
* Community (http://www.ujamaaplace.org/nonviolence-365trade.html) : Ujamaa
Place engages the community in addressing economic, racism, inequality,
education, affordable housing, living wages by advocating for criminal justice
reform to a system that places unjust barriers on young black men.
YOUR SUPPORT IS CRITICAL BY PROVIDING UNRESTRICTED FUNDS TO ASSIST UJAMAA PLACE
IN ITS THEORY OF TRANSFORMING BY ADDRESSING RACISM, ECONOMICS AND EDUCATION
DISPARITIES THROUGH ADVOCACY TO SUPPORT THE INCREASED DEMAND OF YOUNG AFRICAN-
AMERICAN TRANSITIONING OUT OF INVOLVEMENT IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.
