Our History

The Greater Phoenix Urban League was established in 1945 as a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the Phoenix community. For more than 80 years, we have provided support in the areas of economic empowerment, education, housing, advocacy, health, and overall quality of life. Our mission is to provide individuals with the resources and opportunities needed for financial stability and personal growth. Through programs focused on education, housing, job readiness, and access to healthcare, we continue to support and serve thousands of residents each year.
