We’re here to counsel, educate, train and create opportunities. #UrbanLeagueEC #CareersAtULEC The mission of the Urban League of Essex County is to help African Americans and other disadvantaged minorities achieve social and economic equality, and to attain economic self-sufficiency through education and job training programs. We carry out this mission through program services, bridge building and advocacy.
