The Urban League of Greater Atlanta Young Professionals (ULGA-YP) is comprised of young professionals across metro Atlanta who are dedicated to serving their local communities through social and community activism. Our mission is to support the actions and service of The Urban League of Greater Atlanta (ULGA). ULGA was founded in 1920 as an affiliate of the National Urban League (NUL), to support African American families migrating from the rural communities of Georgia in unprecedented numbers to the vibrant industrialized city of Atlanta. Today, the League’s focus is preparing the workforce for careers in the 21st century and the new economy; raising the graduation rate among metro Atlanta students and preparing youth for college and careers; homeownership and wealth creation; entrepreneurship and small business growth; sustainable communities; and serving as an advocate for education, civic engagement and economic development and a voice for the underserved in our community.
