About Juneteenth America, Inc.
Juneteenth America, Inc. (JAI) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with the objective to educate the public about the California Juneteenth National Freedom Day Observance, celebrated every third Saturday in June, and about the significance of “Juneteenth” (June 19th, 1865) in American history.
Our motto, Perfecting Unity
, represents our belief in Juneteenth as a means to celebrate the gift of Liberty, build on our shared values, respect our differences and teach generations of Americans not only to accept our diverse heritage, but to also embrace it. As people come together in the celebration of cultural heritage, we seek to provide the opportunity for at-risk families and minorities to advance themselves, in the areas of arts, business, education, careers, health & wellness, socioeconomics, and sustainability. Ultimately, our programs instill self-empowerment, cultural pride, and knowledge to improve lives and foster community involvement, building healthy communities and addressing issues involving crime, poverty, and literacy.
Working with elected officials, dignitaries, organizations, community leaders, small businesses and corporations, we outreach and connect to the public through community service, programs, projects and special events.
