Nonprofit Overview

Mission: To help African-Americans and others in underserved communities achieve their highest true social parity, economic self- reliance, power, and civil rights. The League promotes economic empowerment through education and job training, housing and community development, workforce development, entrepreneurship, health, and quality of life.
Results: The urban league is a nonpartisan, civil rights and community-based movement that serves over two million people each year, providing direct services, research, and policy advocacy to help individuals and communities reach their fullest potential. Primarily working with African-Americans and other emerging ethnic communities, the league's network of over 100 professionally staffed affiliates in over 36 states and the District of Columbia across the nation, works to close equality gaps for people at all economic levels and stages of life and gives citizens a chance to give back as volunteers.
Programs: Economic empowerment invests in the financial literacy and employability of adults through job training, home ownership counseling and entrepreneurship support.
education and youth development ensures the education of all children by providing access to early childhood literacy, after-school programs and college preparation.
civic engagement and leadership empowerment encourages all people to take an active role to improve quality of life through participation in community service projects and public policy initiatives.
