Greater Milwaukee Urban League

Greater Milwaukee Urban League is a nonprofit organization with a rich history dating back to its establishment in 1919 as an affiliate of the National Urban League. As part of the larger movement initiated by the National Urban League, this organization has been dedicated to empowering African Americans and helping them integrate into the economic and social mainstream. It operates in United States with a focus on addressing the challenges faced by African Americans and other people of color, providing them with the necessary support to achieve civil rights and social and economic equality.

The organization's legacy dates back to the early 20th century when it emerged to support the influx of African Americans migrating from southern states in search of better opportunities. Over the years, it has evolved to offer a wide range of programs tailored to the needs of the community, enabling individuals to become more self-reliant members of society. It has garnered support from various investors, with the most recent grant investment coming from Charter Communications on 18 September 2024.

Through its professionally staffed affiliates in over 100 cities across 34 states and the District of Columbia, the Greater Milwaukee Urban League continues to uphold its mission of empowering communities and changing lives. By providing vital programs and resources, it remains committed to fostering social and economic empowerment, thereby leaving a lasting impact on the communities it serves.
