Urban League of Greater Southwestern Ohio

The Urban League of Greater Southwestern Ohio is dedicated to empowering communities and changing lives. Chartered in 1947 as the Dayton Urban League and in 1949 as the Urban League of Greater Cincinnati, these entities merged in 2013 to form the regional Urban League of Greater Southwestern Ohio. Operating in Cincinnati, Dayton, and Northern Kentucky including Boone, Kenton, and Campbell counties in Kentucky and several Ohio counties, the organization focuses on promoting economic self-sufficiency, social justice, education, and health advocacy for the underserved.

The Urban League's programs, partnerships, and collaborations aim to uplift youth, individuals in poverty, and the middle class, as well as stimulate the growth of small businesses. Through training, career building, job placement services, education, tutoring, case management, and health advocacy, the organization addresses inequality and works towards upward economic and social mobility.

Founded in 1948, the organization has received a grant investment from Charter Communications on September 15, 2023. This strategic backing will likely further the Urban League's mission of fostering thriving, self-sufficient communities. Operating in the United States, the Urban League of Greater Southwestern Ohio is deeply committed to creating real change in the areas it serves.
