Minneapolis Urban League

For more than 90 years, Minnesotans have looked to the Minneapolis Urban League as a source of strength in the community. From employment to education to engagement, the Minneapolis Urban Leagues seeks to help African descendants strive for and achieve economic empowerment and self-sufficiency to build wealth that can be passed down from generation to generation.

We envision a future in which African descendants can be fully engaged, empowered and invested in the success and well-being of the Twin Cities metro area. The Minneapolis Urban League understands that the cultural heritage and assets of people of African descent are a rich resource of creativity, power and beauty.

We believe that a strong and systemic change is needed to transform our communities. The Minneapolis Urban League plays a vital role as advocate and thought leader for issues affecting African descendants in the Twin Cities.
