Urban League of Greater Atlanta: Empowering African Americans for Economic Success
Urban League of Greater Atlanta is a non-profit organization that has been serving the African American community in the greater Atlanta area since 1920. The organization is dedicated to empowering African Americans by providing them with the tools and resources they need to achieve economic success.
At Urban League of Greater Atlanta, we believe that economic empowerment is essential for achieving social justice and equality. We are committed to helping African Americans overcome the barriers that prevent them from reaching their full potential, including poverty, discrimination, and lack of access to education and job opportunities.
Our programs and services are designed to address these challenges head-on, providing individuals with the skills, knowledge, and support they need to succeed in today's economy. Whether you're looking for job training or career coaching, financial literacy classes or entrepreneurship support, Urban League of Greater Atlanta has something for everyone.
One of our flagship programs is our YouthBuild program. This program provides young people between the ages of 16-24 with hands-on construction training while also helping them earn their high school diploma or GED. Participants learn valuable skills such as carpentry, electrical work, plumbing, and more while also gaining important life skills like teamwork and leadership.
Another program we offer is our Entrepreneurship Center. This center provides aspiring entrepreneurs with business coaching and technical assistance as well as access to capital through microloans. Our goal is to help entrepreneurs start successful businesses that create jobs in their communities while also building wealth for themselves and their families.
In addition to these programs, Urban League of Greater Atlanta offers a range of other services including workforce development training (such as resume writing workshops), financial counseling (including credit repair), housing assistance (such as foreclosure prevention), health education (including HIV/AIDS prevention), legal assistance (such as expungement clinics), advocacy on behalf of civil rights issues affecting African Americans at local state levels among others.
We are proud to be a person-to-person organization that is invested in the economic success of African Americans. Our staff and volunteers are passionate about helping individuals achieve their goals and we work tirelessly to ensure that everyone who comes through our doors receives the support they need to succeed.
