BALTIMORE, June 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Juma Ventures, a client of Social Solutions and user of Efforts to Outcomes (ETO™) software, was selected as a winner of the Social Impact Exchange's 2013 Business Plan Competition at the Exchange's 2013 Symposium on Scaling Impact.
The Business Plan Competition identified social sector scaling initiatives with demonstrated impact and readiness to scale. Juma Ventures and the Hill Center, another Business Plan Competition winner, were selected from among three mezzanine-stage and three early-stage finalists who presented their business plans and responded to questions from a panel of experts and field leaders about scaling their initiatives.
Juma Ventures creates hundreds of jobs for low-income students and provides an array of support services to ensure those students succeed in college and in their careers. Its model combines employment opportunities, financial literacy education, and academic support.
As a part of their prize, Juma Ventures will receive a financial support and consulting services, provided by TCC Group, to help scale their services.
Juma Ventures uses Social Solutions' ETO software to manage program performance and measure outcomes. Last year, 100% of Juma's seniors graduated from high school and 94% successfully transitioned to post-secondary education. Juma is working to expand their full range of program services to new markets through strategic partnerships with existing college access programs, and plans to increase the number of students served from 1,202 to 2,578 over the next three years.
"We congratulate Juma Ventures on this recognition from the Social Impact Exchange—it is well deserved," said Social Solutions CEO Steve Butz. "It has been a privilege to support Juma in their important work, and we look forward to continuing to work with them as they deliver their mission to more youth in more places."
