Urban League Affiliates
Overview
The 102 National Urban League Affiliates located in 36 states across the US are physical centers in and of the community. These professionally staffed offices are where Urban League services come to life - where people and their neighborhoods grow, change, and strengthen.
With programs and resources for all levels of education, job placement and training, affordable housing and home buying, business development, after-school care, mentoring, healthcare counseling, and much more, the affiliates provide residents and their families with unlimited opportunities and guidance so they may rise as high as they choose to go.
And while all affiliates must comply with rigorous National Urban League standards, they have the freedom to tailor their offerings to local needs, thereby ensuring the best results for the people and communities they serve. They also cultivate a symbiotic relationship with local residents and companies, encouraging them to volunteer through Urban League programs and to advocate for positive change in their communities.
Association of Executives
The National Urban League Association of Executives is the aggregate body of Urban League presidents and chief executive officers. The Association works to develop workshops, programs and policies that enhance the personal and professional development of their membership and further strengthens their abilities to successfully lead their affiliates. For more information on the AOE, contact Annelle Lewis, SVP of Affiliate Services.
