Did you know that when you buy an ice cream from a vender at an Earthquakes game, you could also be contributing to the future of a local student? JUMA, a nonprofit based out of San Francisco who strives to break the cycle of poverty within America’s youth, makes this possible. With their partnership with Spectra Hospitality, they employ local, underprivileged youth as venders at Avaya Stadium.
Emma Cruz and Eduardo Cuevas are two of the youth currently taking advantage of the program and can be seen selling ice cream and other treats in the stands at Earthquakes games.
