2021 MARKED our centennial year OF SERVICE

Throughout 2021 we hosted events and activities highlighting our Los Angeles Urban League’s accomplishments and milestones from the last 100 years.

Invest in Los Angeles. Empower underutilized communities with jobs, training and small business resources.

For 104 years now, the Los Angeles Urban League has served as a forceful champion for African Americans and other underserved populations by ensuring access to careers with living wages, opportunities to develop businesses, and by enhancing personal and professional growth. We carry on the fight for economic empowerment, continuing to build bridges between people of color and opportunities to improve lives.

Your Story…

is our story. For more than a century Los Angeles Urban League has helped hundreds of thousands of Angelenos get their first jobs, build businesses in their communities and gain the education and resources necessary to improve their quality of life. If The League has impacted your life we would be delighted to hear your story.

“I would like to thank you so much for the opportunity to attend and compete in the Biz Camp a few summers ago. I didn’t see it then, but business has had a real calling on my life. It is my major now at Dillard University. I have at least 5 classes that are all business related from economics to accounting, and the things that I learned so long ago at Biz Camp have come back to give me a slight edge in my classes. So once again I would like to thank you and all the other staff.”
