Profile: Greater Baltimore Urban League

Since 1924, we have been helping disadvantaged Marylanders gain access to equal opportunity in employment, education, health care, housing and the civic arena. We encourage you to join the GBUL and take advantage of the many opportunities available to improve the quality of life for you and your community.

The Greater Baltimore Urban League, Inc. (GBUL) is one of the local affiliates of the National Urban League - a nonprofit, nonpartisan, multi-ethnic, social service organization. Through direct service delivery, advocacy, referrals, community capacity building, information dissemination and technical assistance, the League accomplishes its mission to improve social and economic conditions and opportunities for African-Americans and other people who face barriers to full participation in American society.

Established in 1924, The Greater Baltimore Urban League is one of Baltimore’s oldest community- based organizations devoted to empowering African Americans to enter the economic and social mainstream.  Through direct services, advocacy, research, policy analysis, community mobilization, collaboration and communications, we actualize our mission to empower communities and change lives.
