About the Organization
Urban League Cleveland logo.png

The Urban League of Greater Cleveland (ULGC), a community-based nonprofit organization, was established in 1917 in response to the needs of African American families migrating from the South to urban cities in the North. Leveraging its assets as advocates and service providers, the ULGC helped to mitigate the issues of housing discrimination, limited access to employment, and poor landlord-tenant relations. In its 100-year history, the ULGC has delivered upon its mission to enable minority groups to develop and exercise their potential on par with all other Americans. Partnering with other established government and community organizations has enabled ULGC to respond effectively to the needs of those on the economic and social margins through education, research, advocacy, and the provision of services.
