Empowering Communities. Changing Lives.
Enabling African Americans and other underserved urban residents to secure economic self-reliance, parity, power, and civil rights.
Imagine a world with no equality gaps
We work toward this vision through programs and initiatives in these areas:
Workforce and Career Development
The Urban League Employment and Training program specializes in training for individuals with barriers in their background and individuals that are underemployed.
Last year, we helped 1,877 clients find employment through this program.
Education and Family Development
The Urban League Education and Family Development Program focuses on supplemental education and supportive family services for students that attend high-poverty, low-performing schools.
We are proud to be a Dell Powering the Possible Youth Learning Partner!
Housing and Financial Literacy
The Affordable Housing Program has been one of the core focuses of the Urban League since 1946. The Affordable Housing Program provides quality, affordable homes by rehabilitating existing structures and constructing new homes and prepares families for homeownership by hosting homebuyer essentials workshops.
