What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Youth and Education Empowerment Programs
believe in building academically, socially and behaviorally responsible youth becoming successful contributing members of the community and socially minded adults. Our programs start with making significant impacts in their lives leading them to greater success as adults. Our programs provide a safe nurturing environment where youth can expand their horizons, establish leadership skills, build self-confidence and improve their education. The programs engage youth in community activities, education enhancements, provide positive role models and deter them from participating in crime and gang violence. Additionally, all of our youth programs work with parents and guardians to make sure that they are also receiving training and information on how to keep their children on a path of success. Programs consist of academic enrichment opportunities such as FCAT tutoring, high school drop out prevention programs and SAT/ACT prep, the National Award Winning National Urban League Incentive to Excel and Succeed (NULITES) Chapter, the national model program National Achievers Society (NAS), First Time Offenders program, Minority Business Leaders Speakers Bureau, Youth Employment Training Program, High School Credit Recovery Program, mentoring and scholarships, Comcast Digital Connectors, and Senior Digital Literacy.
Economic Empowerment programs
empower individuals to break down barriers and obtain economic equality through education, self-reliance and a greater understanding of financial tools and services. The goal is to break the cycle of poverty and level the economic playing field. Assisting clients through first time homebuyers workshops, financial literacy, housing counseling, work skills training and homelessness prevention programs. Our housing counseling services have seen the number of foreclosure clients increase by 5 times over the last 6 months and has implemented a new financial literacy component to educate those at risk and to prevent future buyers from falling into foreclosure. Programs include housing counseling, first time homebuyers workshops, the Henrietta Townhome project, foreclosure prevention, homelessness prevention and work skills training.

- The ULPBC firmly believe to build a vital and strong community you must have active citizen participation. Our community empowerment programs rely on the collaboration between individuals, businesses, faith-based organizations and other non-profits. Additionally, in order to have a healthy community there needs to be access to health care and health education.
