Equal to the Challenge: A Message from Gwendolyn Grant

We know these are difficult and uncertain times. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you as we continue to grapple with the enormous scale and impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. As you know, our staff began working remotely on Monday, March 16. We will continue to work from home until we receive guidance from City and Public Health officials that it is safe to resume normal operations. However, at the Urban League of Greater Kansas City (Kansas City, MO), we believe our role and responsibility during this time is to empower the community. Please know that we are open for business and are hard at work (remotely) doing all that we can do to provide you with information, resources, job referrals, job training, parenting resources, academic tutoring, and much more. These are challenging times, but we are EQUAL TO THE CHALLENGE!
