NEW YORK URBAN LEAGUE was founded in 1919 and is one of 98 affiliates of the National Urban League. The mission of NYUL is to enable African Americans and other underserved communities to secure a first-class education, economic self-reliance, and equal respect of their civil rights through programs, services and advocacy. Headquartered in Harlem, NYUL serves Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island, Qu
eens and the Bronx. Each year we connect with over 8,000 residents providing direct service in the areas of employment, education and empowerment through financial literacy and access to technology. Through education, the NYUL ensures that families have access to quality educational services that lead to academic achievement, develop students who are competitive college applicants, and instills career and entrepreneurial aspirations that prepare students for 21st century careers in growing industries. Employment and Career Services prepares unemployed residents for entry and re-entry into a highly competitive job market through job readiness workshops, skill training and placement service.
