Seattle Urban League Young Professionals

    • About Us

    Since 2005, the Seattle Urban League Young Professional Chapter (SULYP) has supported emerging local leaders by providing opportunities for personal and professional development, networking, volunteering and leadership.

    As one component of the National Urban League, Young Professional Chapters across the country emphasize five key areas of empowerment: education and youth; economic; health and quality of life; civic engagement and leadership; and civil rights and racial justice. Signature events include workshops and seminars such as the Annual Leadership Summit and African-American Legislative Day, in which SULYP members head to Olympia, WA to lobby state legislators.

    SULYP, which was realized through the vision of three diligent young professionals — Jeanette James, Gina Moore Saunders and Angela Brooks — functions under the auspices of its local affiliate, the Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle (ULMS). Celebrating 80 years of service in our region, ULMS and President and CEO James Kelly strive to empower, enable, and assist African-Americans, other people of color and the disadvantaged in achieving self-sufficiency.
