Description
The Urban League of Portland works to empower Black communities through advocacy, services to seniors, family health and wellness, youth and workforce development. Their culturally specific programs help activate civic empowerment, navigate through complicated systems, and support healthy outcomes for the communities they serve. Their programs include Advocacy & Engagement, Community Health, Housing Assistance, Senior Services, Workforce Development, and Youth & Education:
The Advocacy and Civic Engagement (ACE) department works to achieve policy and community change that advances equality, social and economic justice, and civil rights for African Americans and others in Oregon.
Community Health Programs train and employ trusted members of the Black community to help navigate complex healthcare systems; connect folks to health insurance; help manage and prevent chronic disease; and offer peer-delivered services to those in recovery.
Their Senior Services Program works to make sure that seniors are able to live safely in their homes and communities by assisting them through social supports, transportation and daily connection to community through our Multicultural Senior Center.
Workforce Programs help Black youth and adults who experience unemployment at a disproportionately higher rate, connect to jobs. They host job fairs, provide work skills training, and post thousands of jobs from hundreds of quality companies looking for a diverse pool of employees.
Their Youth Programs instill cultural pride and inspire young people to be the best versions of themselves. They provide Black and Brown middle-school students through young adults with academic and social support; career and college readiness; paid internships and workforce development; and tools on how to achieve and manage success.
