National Urban League, Inc. HQ

Our Strategy The League implements its mission through its three-pronged strategy: 1) Ensuring that our children are well educated and equipped for economic self-reliance in the 21st century; 2) Helping adults attain economic self-sufficiency through good jobs, homeownership, entreprenuership and wealth acumulation; and 3) Ensuring our civil rights by eradicating all barriers to equal participation in the economic and social mainstream. Some examples of this include; * The Economic Self-Sufficiency & Technology department that recently built 48 state-of-the-art Digital Campuses in 44 Urban League affiliates. A Digital Campus is a network computer lab which harnesses the power of technology to support child development, after-school and adult training programs at Urban League affiliates. * The Seniors in Community Service Program enrolls older adults-whose incomes are at or below 125% of poverty level-and places them in subsidized training positions in public and private nonprofit community-service agency. * The Workforce Investment Demonstration Project has provided technical assistance and training to over 5,000 affiliate staff and employment/training service providers in support of planned or existing employment and training services.
