Message from the President

Many people complain that the term “empowerment” is overused and cliché. At the Urban League of Greater Atlanta, we are all about economic empowerment, and there’s simply no other way to say it.

Economic empowerment, or the lack thereof, is a driving force behind every problem and challenge ailing our families, our communities and our society as a whole.

That is why empowerment is the focus of our work!
