Urban League of Hampton Roads 2022-2023 Impact Report

A Beacon of Hope and Change

Since its establishment in 1978, the Urban League of Hampton Roads has stood as a beacon of hope, illuminating the path towards equality and prosperity for under served communities of color. Our mission, deeply rooted in the principles of social justice and economic empowerment, is to bridge the racial wealth gap that has long cast a shadow over these communities. We strive to achieve this by providing comprehensive resources and steadfast support in critical areas such as education, employment, finance, health, and housing.

Our efforts are not just about providing services; they are about sparking change. We aim to dismantle the systemic barriers that perpetuate racial wealth disparities and replace them with structures that promote equity and inclusivity. We believe in the potential of every individual and are committed to ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to realize their dreams, irrespective of their racial or ethnic background.
