Mission Statement

The Urban League of Portland, founded in 1945, is a non-profit, community-based organization headquartered in North Portland and an affiliate of the National Urban League. Our mission is to empower African Americans and others to achieve equality in education, employment, health, economic security and quality of life.

About This Cause

Established in 1945, the Urban League of Portland is one of the oldest African American service, civil rights and advocacy organizations in the area. We are part of a network of over 90 National Urban League Affiliates across the country and is recognized as one of the leading voices for African Americans and other people of color in the region. We are a key coalition-builder amongst other African American organizations, and work extensively with both traditional and emerging African American groups, the faith-based community, minority businesses, and other organizations of color, including immigrants and refugees. Our programs include a distinctive blend of direct services, organizing, outreach, and advocacy. We offer workforce services, community health services, summer youth programming, senior services, meaningful civic engagement opportunities, and powerful advocacy.
