Welcome!

The Urban League of Greater New Orleans Young Professionals, an auxiliary of the Urban League of Greater New Orleans, is composed of professionals who live, work and serve in the greater New Orleans areas between the ages of twenty-one (21) and forty-four (44). This new developing force is composed of key local talent of young professionals who are committed to serving the greater New Orleans area through social and civic engagement.

Our Young Professionals chapter is one of thirty-six (36) chapters of the National Urban League Young Professionals (NULYP), which serves as the umbrella organization under the National Urban League to support the League’s 5- point empowerment agenda:

• Education and Youth Empowerment
• Economic Empowerment
• Health and Quality of Life Empowerment
• Civic Engagement Empowerment
• Civil Rights and Racial Justice Empowerment

Since 1910, the Urban League, by its very design, has focused on answering that one question: "How do we address the needs of the people?" The response to this question is what the Urban League "MOVEMENT" is all about. As Young Professionals, it is our RESPONSIBILITY to answer this same question as it relates to current and future young professionals in the City of New Orleans. In doing so, we must remain committed to building and refining young professionals.
