From Our President

The Greater Washington Urban League has been a valuable resource for metropolitan Washington area residents for more than 70 years. Our strong tradition of exemplary service continues. The League’s programs and services help improve the quality of life for children, teens, parents and families. We offer internships and scholarships for youth, information and counseling for parents, financial advice and assistance for first-time home buyers, employment/technology training for the unemployed and those seeking career advancement, health promotion for youth and adults, and environmental education for all of our clients. The League makes a real difference in the lives of children, at-risk teens, unemployed adults and fathers who are ex-offenders.

The League has an excellent track record of improving the quality of life for thousands in the metropolitan Washington area. Each year we provide services to 65,000 area residents through the 30 some programs we administer. Last year our Education Division provided information and assistance to approximately 10,000 parents and students. Through assistance from our Housing Division 508 families became first-time home buyers in the District of Columbia.

Help us "Empower Communities and Change Lives." Support the work of the Greater Washington Urban League.
