The Young Professionals is an auxiliary organization dedicated to bringing the next generation of leaders into the Urban League movement. Founded in 2003, our members believe in economic and social parity, and are working hard to develop proactive and innovative resolutions to the challenges our society faces. Our goal is to introduce young professionals to public service activities while providing social events that will attract other young professionals to the Lorain County community. We are looking forward to an exciting upcoming year and we want to ensure that we have committed individuals to help us accomplish our goals.
We are apart of the National Urban League Young Professionals (NULYP), which serves as an umbrella over dozens of Urban League Young Professional chapters in cities across the country. Through these chapters, thousands of members, ages varying between the ages of 21 to 45, work to advance the Urban League agenda through corporate, social and community activism.
We are also an active part of the Ohio Urban League Young Professionals which is
comprised of Ohio Urban League Young Professional Chapters. LCULYP's mission is to provide community service and social programs that carry out the five point empowerment agenda of the National Urban League as well as assist the local affiliate with accomplishing programming goals. In addition, our goal is to promote corporate involvement in the Lorain County community by creating partnerships with corporations and recruiting members from these companies. Please see the agenda below.
: Ensuring that all of our children are well educated and prepared for economic self-reliance in the 21st century. LCULYP works with LCUL's youth programs and Parity to provide role models and mentors for youth in the community.
: Empowering all people in attaining economic self-sufficiency through job training, good jobs, homeownership, entrepreneurship and wealth accumulation.
: Working to build healthy and safe communities to eliminate health disparities through prevention, healthy eating, fitness, as well as ensuring complete access to affordable healthcare for all people.
: Empowering all people to take an active role in determining the direction, quality of life, public policy and leadership in their communities by full participation as citizens and voters, as well as through active community service and leadership development.
: Promoting and ensuring our civil rights by actively working to eradicate all barriers to equal participation in all aspects of American society, whether political, economic, social, educational or cultural.
