Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle

The Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization with nearly 90 years of activism and community experience in the heart of Seattle’s most diverse neighborhood, the Central District. The League has historically focused its community work in education, employment, health and housing with Seattle’s disenfranchised African-American community. As economic cycles create large disparities in our class system, prison and high school drop-out rates for communities of color continue to rise and neighborhoods change from gentrification, the Urban League is steadfast in its commitment to working with Seattle’s communities to face these challenges head on. The Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle is committed to working across the board with diverse communities in order to help make Seattle an equitable and prosperous place to live for all of its residents.

We empower African Americans and underserved communities to thrive by securing educational and economic opportunities.
