The New York Urban League

Welcome to the New York Urban League Online

For over 90 years, we have been helping disadvantaged New Yorkers gain access to equal opportunity in employment, education, health care, housing and the civic arena. We encourage you to join the NYUL and take advantage of the many opportunities available to improve the quality of life for you and your community.

The New York Urban League, Inc. (the "League") is one of the local affiliates of the National Urban League, a nonprofit, nonpartisan, multi-ethnic, social service organization celebrating its 90th anniversary in 2010. Through direct service delivery, advocacy, referrals, community capacity building, information dissemination and technical assistance, the League accomplishes its mission to improve social and economic conditions and opportunities for African-Americans and other people who face barriers to full participation in American society.
