The Urban League of Greater Cleveland is a community-based nonprofit organization founded in 1917 and based in Cleveland, Ohio. It operates as both advocate and service provider, addressing housing discrimination, limited access to employment, educational quality, and landlord-tenant relations to support families on the economic and social margins. Its core mission is to enable African-Americans and other minority members to develop and exercise their potential through education, research, advocacy, and services, in collaboration with government, corporate, and community partners. The organization frames its work around a system-oriented, community-responsive model that emphasizes education and youth development, entrepreneurship and business development, and workforce training and employment opportunities. A recent development includes a partnership with the Sherwin-Williams Foundation to launch a Construction Accelerator Program intended to support minority-owned Northeast Ohio businesses.
