Urban League of Palm Beach County Charity Profile

The Urban League of Palm Beach County has been at the forefront of youth, education, economic, community and health empowerment for the past 35 years. As the leading provider of comprehensive family services serves over 13,000 clients annually. The majority of the youth and families we see on a daily basis in our West Palm Beach, Delray or Belle Glade office are living at or below the federal poverty line and in underserved and challenged areas in our community. They live in neighborhoods with low high school graduation rates, high unemployment and underemployment, high crime rates and one-parent households. The Urban League addresses these challenges by providing self-reliance programs that move families and individuals into the economic mainstream through education, self-improvement and capacity building.

The Urban League of Palm Beach County, Inc was formed by a group of concerned citizens who believed in furthering the civil rights movement in Palm Beach County and assisting African Americans and other minorities in obtaining social and economic equality. In May 1973, the organization was incorporated in the State of Florida and in 1974 became the 102nd affiliate of the National Urban League.
