Service Areas
The Dayton Urban League - chartered in 1947, and the Urban League of Greater Cincinnati – established in 1949, were formally combined into one regional Urban League (the Urban League of Greater Southwestern Ohio) in 2013.
The Urban League of Greater Southwestern Ohio serves people in the following areas: Cincinnati, Dayton, and Northern Kentucky. ULGSO serves Boone, Kenton, and Campbell counties in Kentucky and Ohio counties of Butler, Clermont, Darke, Greene, Hamilton, Miami, Montgomery, Preble, and Warren.
We are dedicated to building thriving communities and strengthening the family unit by promoting economic self-sufficiency through our training, career building, and job placement services. We promote a greater understanding of social justice by working to educate policy makers and the broader community on issues of inequality affecting the vulnerable. We support youth through our education and tutoring programs; other areas of service include case management and health advocacy for the underserved.
Operations/Programs
The Urban League’s investment in programs, partnerships, and collaborations helps prepare our youth to succeed in life, lifts individuals out of poverty, bolsters the middle class, and stimulates the growth of small businesses. Each of these outcomes will serve to propel many in our community into upward economic and social mobility.
