Economic and racial equity for Black Chicago
About us
The Chicago Urban League (Urban League) was one of the first affiliates of the National Urban League organized in this country to address the needs of African Americans migrating from the rural South to the northern cities in unprecedented numbers at the dawn of the 20th century. The Chicago Urban League works to achieve equity for Black families and communities through social and economic empowerment. Since 1916, the Chicago Urban League—through collaborative community, corporate and civic relationships—has helped people find jobs, secure affordable housing, enhance their educational experiences and grow their businesses. We are passionate advocates for economic and racial equity for Black Chicagoans. The impact of the Urban League's 10+ decades of service to Chicagoans is beyond measure, but it is illustrated by the fact that upon hearing the name of the organization, community members often comment on the positive impact the Chicago Urban League has had in their lives. As one of the largest affiliates in the nation, the Chicago organization remains a leader in the Urban League movement.
