Along with their franchise partners, Jamba exceeded their committed goal by more than 200. As part of a stepped-up effort to put America's youth to work, Jamba along with more than 20 other business and community leaders from the around the country, demonstrated the power of partnership between public and private sector and joined the Obama Administration in the launch of Summer Jobs+. Summer Jobs+ is the administration's new call to action for businesses, non-profits, and government to work together to provide pathways to employment for low-income and disconnected youth in the summer of 2012.
