The Urban League employs a four-point strategy, tailored to local needs,
in order to implement the mission of our movement.
- Education and Youth Empowerment: Ensuring that all
of our children
are well educated and prepared for economic self-reliance in the 21st
century through college scholarships, early childhood literacy, Head
Start and after care programs.
- Economic Empowerment: Empowering all people in attaining
economic self-sufficiency through job training, good jobs, homeownership,
entrepreneurship and wealth accumulation.
- Health and Quality of Life Empowerment: Working to
build healthy and safe communities to eliminate health disparities through
prevention, healthy eating, fitness, as well as ensuring access and
complete access to affordable healthcare for all people.
- Civic Engagement and Leadership Empowerment: Empowering
all people to take an active role in determining the direction, quality
of life, public policy and leadership in their communities by full participation
as citizens and voters, as well as through active community service
and leadership development.
- Civil Rights and Racial Justice Empowerment: Promoting
and ensuring our civil rights by actively working to eradicate all barriers
to equal participation in the all aspects of American society, whether
political, economic, social, educational or cultural.
