Appendix OUR MISSION About the Urban League of Greater New Orleans The mission of the Urban League of Greater New Orleans is to encourage and empower African Americans and other emerging communities in the pursuit of economic self-reliance, parity, and civil rights. AGENCY HISTORY In 1938, the Urban League of Greater New Orleans was founded to foster and encourage activities that led to increased opportunities for under-served communities. The Urban League of Greater New Orleans is one of 95 affiliates of the National Urban League, which provides advocacy and direct service programs spanning 38 states. For more than 76 years ULGNO has told the story of every man, woman and child and how access to equal opportunity is key to Empowering Communities and Changing Lives. Today, ULGNO has 76 years proven experience and is proud to continue its efforts to rebuild New Orleans and the surrounding area. Positioned to achieve great success, ULGNO recognizes the opportunity and responsibility facing the greater New Orleans region. As such, ULGNO takes a broader consideration of both the value created in each life the Urban League touches, and how such, translates into rebuilding systems, infrastructure, and the local economy, all of which are keys to creating sustainable change and improving individual life chances. With a strategic focus on its three Centers of Excellence, ULGNO is poised to contribute significantly to the transformation of a new and equitable New Orleans by leveraging lessons learned via direct service to inform public disclosure and public policy. The Three Centers of Excellence are: • Center of Education and Youth Development • Center of Community and Economic Development • Center of Policy and Social Justice Throughout our history, Urban League programs have focused to ensure quality education and access to information, equal employment, and entrepreneurial and economic inclusion opportunities and shared dignity under the law. The Urban League believes the opportunities that emerge from closing these gaps will benefit business, industry, and the greater community, and create a sustainable and dynamic future for everyone. With our tradition of success in symmetry with a continued wellspring of support from every sector of the community, the Urban League is destined to remain the leading entity for social and economic equality as the new century continues to unfold. 112
