Central Florida Urban League

Central Florida Urban League Today, more than 40,000 residents have benefited from our various empowerment programs.

The Central Florida Urban League improves the social and economic conditions of disadvantaged individuals and families in Central Florida through education, employment, and entrepreneurship. The Central Florida Urban League (formerly known as the Metropolitan Orlando Urban League) was founded on August 5, 1977 and chartered as a national organization on May 28, 1978. An affiliate of the National Urban League, our chapter was created by respected community leaders who believed that Orlando’s African-American community would benefit from professional, economic, and social support. The National Urban League was founded in the early 20th century to assist African-Americans in the Northeast who had fled the segregationist South, only to discover that racial discrimination has no geographic boundaries. Its first agency opened in 1910 in New York City and is headquartered there today, leading the efforts of its local affiliates through the development of programs, public policy research, and advocacy. Today, there are more than 100 local affiliates in 36 states and the District of Columbia, directly impacting the lives of more than 2 million people nationwide.

We were honored to be on hand at the Orange County Supervisor of Elections for a special press conference marking National Voter Registration Day and emphasizing the importance of making sure every eligible voter is registered and ready to make their voice heard.

Today, the Central Florida Urban League joins our community and our nation in marking 25 years since the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

We remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, honor the first responders who ran toward danger, and recognize the families and communities whose lives were forever changed.

As Central Floridians, we remember not only the tragedy of that day, but also the extraordinary unity, compassion and service that followed. Twenty-five years later, may we continue to carry those values forward by standing together, serving our neighbors and strengthening our community.
