Welcome to the Greater Toledo Urban League! Thank you for visiting our site and learning about our mission and vision. We seek to improve the social and economic conditions of each person in our community, particularly African-Americans, other minorities and those that are disadvantaged through the provision of quality programming and effective advocacy. We target our efforts in the areas of education, employment and enriching families. As we celebrate our Centennial Year with our National Urban League, we have renewed vigor to achieve our goal of empowering community and changing lives. We have a new look and a new feel and we hope you enjoy your virtual experience so much that you will become involved and tell others to get involved as well. I am empowered…are you?

WHAT WE DO
Education and Youth Services
1All that we do as adults is built on a foundation of education. The primary focus of our organization is on equal opportunity education for all students. We offer a wide range of educational programs that serve youth and adults. Our programs are designed to compliment the current trends and climate of the modern workforce and are built to level the playing field for minorities and those that are disadvantaged.
Workforce Development
2In our modern economy it is even more critical that we properly train and assist those in need of employment to get the skills and experience needed to be successful in the workforce. We have extensive programming and staff resources available to achieve the very ambitious goal of turning the unemployment rate of Toledo on its head. We currently service clients seeking employment and offer one on one assistance to help them over come any barriers they may have.
Health and Quality of Life
3Nothing is more important than living a happy, healthy, and full life. We offer senior services, health awareness and youth activity programs in order to help improve the quality of life in the Toledo community and beyond. Our programs, partnered with local community organizations focus on improving the entire being (mind, body, and spirit) while encouraging people of all ages to reach their full potential as a productive addition to their community.
