The Urban League of Greater Atlanta “Empowers Communities and Changes Lives.” We meet people where they are and support them on their pathway to success. Our programs offer access to education and job skills training, workforce opportunities, youth development, homeownership, adult reentry, entrepreneurship and civic engagement.
With a 100-year+ history of success, the Urban League of Greater Atlanta has partnered with clients, civic organizations, and the public and private sectors to unlock doors of opportunity for people of color and those living in low-income communities. We help men, women, youth, and families reach their goals through programs that focus on education and job skills training, workforce opportunities, youth development, homeownership, criminal justice reform and adult reentry, entrepreneurship, civic engagement, and more.
A first-time homebuyer establishes a pattern of wealth-building for the future stability of generations of family members who will follow.
A high school graduate who goes on to college, technical certification, the military, or successful entrepreneurship serves as a role model leading a life of purpose and contribution.
A civic-minded activist influences countless others to become engaged as citizens who vote and use their voices to change their neighborhoods and communities for the better.
An employer whose business thrives because of a commitment to the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion shifts the thinking of other entrepreneurs and strengthens an entire region.
A family who survives a crisis with a “hand up” to regain stability represents one less family mired in poverty for years.
A Snapshot of ULGA’s 2025 Impact
In fiscal year 2023, we touched the lives of thousands of people through the umbrella of our Financial Empowerment and Emergency Relief Center (FEERC). We focus on five core pillars and emergency relief to help with food, rent, utilities, childcare, re-employment, etc.
We are pleased to share the voices of clients who are pursuing their dreams with the guidance, support, and proven programs the Urban League has established over the years. We attribute much of our successes to the close partnerships we’ve built with corporate, civic, government, philanthropic, and faith and community organizations. Enjoy these snapshots of what coming to the League has meant in the lives of clients over the past year.
