Urban League of Long Island

Empowering Communities, Transforming Lives

Welcome to the Urban League of Long Island where purpose meets action, and hope turns into opportunity.

For over 50 years, we’ve stood at the frontlines of change  igniting possibilities, uplifting families, and empowering individuals from Brooklyn to Montauk. We believe that equity is not just an ideal it’s a right, and we are here to ensure every Long Islander, no matter their zip code, has a path to success

From world-class hospitals to renowned universities, Long Island is a place of promise. But the reality is, not everyone has equal access to that promise. Systemic inequities, generational poverty, and racial disparities continue to block too many from reaching their full potential.

That’s where we come in.

At the Urban League of Long Island, we deliver real solutions for real lives from workforce development and small business support, to youth mentorship, housing access, and mental wellness services. We are not just a service provider. We are your partner in progress

Like a phoenix rising, our work continues to evolve to meet the growing needs of our communities empowering parents, inspiring students, uplifting veterans, guiding entrepreneurs, and supporting seniors.

We don’t do this work alone. We do it with you, for you, and beside you. Because when one person rises, we all rise. When one family thrives, our entire region becomes stronger.

Let’s build a future where opportunity is universal, equity is expected, and hope is unstoppable.

This is the Urban League of Long Island. This is our mission. And this is just the beginning. We invite you to explore our website and we look forward to speaking with you soon.
