A service organization whose primary focus is to bring racial harmony and cultural awareness to the community through various activities. JAMAA, which literally means "family" in Swahili, does not have one governing body, instead consisting of dozens of separate and distinct chapters throughout the world. JAMAA appears at high schools and colleges across the United States. Many JAMAA members are also steppers.

Aside from its service to the community, JAMAA has led worldwide philanthropic efforts in Africa. Most sources indicate that JAMAA was first founded by Adrien Tuyaga, a Burundi native, to combat ethnic violence and gang affiliation.

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
