Mission

The mission of the Urban League of Rochester, NY, is to enable African-Americans, Latinos, the poor, and other disadvantaged to secure economic self-reliance, parity and power, and civil rights.
Our four-pronged strategy for pursuing this mission is:

Ensuring that our children are well-educated and equipped for economic self-reliance in the 21st century;

Helping adults attain economic self-sufficiency through good jobs, homeownership, entrepreneurship, and wealth accumulation;

Ensuring our civil rights by eradicating all barriers to equal participation in the economic and social mainstream of America and;

Ensuring that our staff are provided the tools to educate, advocate, and fulfill the mission.
