Today, the Urban League of Greater Columbus is recognized as one of over 88 affiliates of the National Urban League.
The mission of The Urban League of Greater Columbus is to empower and assist minorities, disadvantaged, and under-served citizens; as well as low income families in obtaining social and economic equality through their achievement of becoming economically self sufficient and self reliant in the areas of gaining equal access to jobs, education, affordable housing and healthcare; and to foster economic empowerment by educating and equipping individuals and families with the necessary tools and resources needed to improve their quality of life.
