National Urban League Young Professionals (NULYP) is a network of young professionals, across the country who provide leadership development, economic empowerment and community volunteer opportunities for other young professionals. The organization trains, develops, and educates young professionals to take leadership roles within the National Urban League, the civil rights movement, and society-at-large. Members of NULYP are defining, developing, implementing, and leading the next generation civil rights agenda.

NULYP's mission is to engage young professionals in the National Urban League's movement towards the achievement of social and economic equality. NULYP does this by providing an effective forum through which young professionals can support the Urban League's more than 100 affiliates in 35 states and the District of Columbia.

We support the goals and mission of the National Urban League by serving our communities and developing our members through mentoring, tutoring, scholarships, economic empowerment, political engagement, and leadership development programs. Our chapters implement local programs in support of the National Urban League empowerment agenda, which include:

• Education and Youth Empowerment
• Economic Empowerment
• Health and Quality of Life Empowerment
• Civic Engagement Empowerment
• Civil Rights and Racial Justice Empowerment

NULYP also works to strengthen our members by encouraging them to achieve balance in their lives even as they work to strengthen their communities. To this end, NULYP strives to develop programs that encourage individual members' personal and professional development.
