Profile: Urban League of Metropolitan Denver, Inc.

Our mission at the Urban League of Metropolitan Denver is to help African American and other residents of metro Denver attain social and economic equality and self-reliance. The Urban League of Metropolitan Denver was founded in 1946 for the purpose of promoting the attainment of economic and social self-reliance among poor and disadvantaged African Americans.

Since 1946 the League has worked aggressively to create a level playing field for African Americans and others of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Today, the Urban League is implementing innovative programs to prepare our constituents for the new millennium.

As one of 114 affiliates of the National Urban League, the agency serves as a liaison between the business community, city and county governments and other community-based organizations that share its concern for the welfare of the economically disadvantaged in Denver.
