Transformation Starts Here

The Urban League offers you a proven place to reach your goals – as a client, a partner, a donor, a volunteer, and an activist for equal justice and economic opportunity for all.

Client

As a service-oriented civil rights organization, the Urban League of Greater Atlanta has been helping clients build economic strength for more than 100 years. Whether your goal relates to workforce/career advancement, homeownership, entrepreneurship, reentry, advocacy, or more, we tailor our programs to meet your needs.

Partner

The League’s name reflects the reason for our historical success: We work in partnership, in league, with the leaders in the business, community, and public and private sectors, and individuals – all committed to the same goal of empowering previously marginalized communities to grow and thrive.

Events

To serve the widest audiences possible, the League offers in-person and virtual classes, seminars, certifications, conferences, and other events throughout the year. We also believe in celebrating the successes of our clients and recognizing the contributions of partners through our signature events.  

Emergency Assistance

The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically exacerbated the economic disparities in our region and increased the levels of evictions and joblessness. The League met the need by adding an Emergency Response component to our Financial Empowerment & Economic Resilience Center(FEERC) offering temporary financial help to allow individuals and families to avoid eviction and re-gain employment.
