Education Department
The Urban League’s education department motivates the intel-
lectual and imaginative capacity of each child in a safe and
nurturing environment. As a Supplemental Educational Ser-
vices provider designated by the federal No Child Left Behind
program, ULMS provides high-quality, research-based tutor-
ing and other supplemental academic enrichment services for
K-12th grade youth.
Children’s University and Children’s Summer University pro-
grams provide positive environments for youth to work with
certified instructors, tutors and experience the arts and hu-
manities firsthand. The summer program provides a unique
integrated experience comprised of core academic studies, cul-
tural studies, fine arts and literature, unique civic activities,
junior internships, and much more.
Area youth can prepare for their post-high school careers by
participating in ULMS programs for teenagers. Project
M.I.S.T.E.R. is a school-based life skills, mentoring, and inter-
vention program. Youth Congress is a creative and dynamic
youth empowerment program in which youth work on emer-
gent issues of particular relevance to citizens in their respec-
tive communities.
Housing
The Urban League Housing Department’s overarching goal is
to help renters with low-to-moderate income become home-
owners. We also help people who seek affordable rentals, and
are have trouble managing their mortgage payments when fi-
nancial hardships strike.
ULMS Housing Department services include:
Ready-to-Rent workshops for homeless or transitional hous-
ing clients
Individual development accounts for low-income clients
Financial literacy workshops
First-time homebuyer seminars and assistance
Landlord/tenant law counseling and advocacy
Mortgage default and reverse mortgage counseling
Continuing education courses for real estate agents
In addition to its work to support home ownership, ULMS
partners with Central House to provide transitional housing
through a special project at Harder House. Harder House is a
group home for homeless young adults between the ages of 19
-25 who need a place to live while they are gaining stability
and self-sufficiency.
Employment
The League’s employment department provides employment
services to employers and job seekers through a one-stop
service delivery system. ULMS forges new alliances with
partner corporations through the Corporate Partnership
Initiative. Area corporations attend employment orientation
workshops to meet clients, discuss job openings, and often to
set up job interviews. Our job resource center assists job
seekers through on-line job skills training, job counseling and
case management, access to job listings from the ULMS job
bank, resume and cover letter development, career exploration
assistance, job readiness workshops, and interview techniques
workshops.
ULMS helps young adults gain important job skills through its
Youth Employment Program. Building upon individual,
family, and community strengths, these individualized
programs are designed to engage youth by enhancing their
opportunities, ultimately supporting their growth into capable,
responsible, and caring citizens.
Contractor Development and Competitiveness Center
The ULMS Contractor Development and Competitiveness
Center (CDCC) empowers small and historically underutilized
contractors in becoming more competitive by developing or
improving their business operations skills and by providing
access to contracts with private and public owners, developers,
and prime contractors.
The ULMS/CDCC Technology & Plan Center is equipped
with plans and specifications, plotter, copier, fax, and
computers with internet access. Small business owners, agency
partners, and leaders of construction firms are brought together
through Builders Empowerment and Strategy Teams
(B.E.S.T.), a monthly contractor meeting to exchange
practical, real-world business knowledge and strategies.
Individual Development Plans help contractors identify their
needs for computing & communications, operations,
accounting, finance, marketing, research & development, and
corporate structure.
