[fancy_header]Our Programs and Services[/fancy_header]
The Greater Toledo Urban League, order Inc. operates over ten (10) programs that cover a client base of youth(6 – 18); adults (18 – 60); and seniors (60 and above). All programs are comprehensive and focused on providing our clients with outstanding services and support.

The agency provides services to over 2, web 310 people, sickness while maintaining a strong commitment to serving those least among us. While some of us are living better today than yesterday, we must not forget that the average national income is $33,000 per year, and that the African American national income is $24,000. Also, lets not forget that the average yearly adult income is some parishes in New Orleans is under $8,000.

With this in mind, the Greater Toledo Urban League, Inc. is needed today more than ever.

The GTUL could not provide its services alone, therefore, the agency has over 160 volunteers to help support and maintain our services in the community.
