About Urban League Nebraska

Overview

Empowering Communities and Changing Lives
Since 1927

The Nebraska Chapter of the Urban League was established in 1927. After 80 years, we hold steadfast to our role as a unique community resource. We offer direct services through programming and advocacy in Nebraska. We are an empowering voice in the community, advocating for economic self-reliance, parity, power, civil rights and equal opportunity for all.

The Urban League currently operates and serves residents within the tri-county area, with a primary target in the northeast region of the city. We are one of more than 100 affiliates in 34 states of the National Urban league movement.
