The Los Angeles Urban League Young Professionals is an auxiliary of the Los Angeles Urban League. Our organization is comprised of professionals, ages 21 to 40, committed to corporate, social, and community activism as well as to improving L.A.’s African American business climate through networking and business development. The LAULYP is one of more than 50 chapters of the national ULYP that support the National Urban League’s five-pronged agenda: Education and Youth, Economic Empowerment, Health and Quality of Life Empowerment, Civic Engagement and Leadership Empowerment, Civil Rights and Racial Justice Empowerment.

The vision for this organization is to create an URBAN RENAISSANCE that will embrace the Movement and highlight the time, talent, and treasure of our membership, to uplift the schools, businesses and people in our community. We envision the LAULYP will serve as the catalyst for: empowering, supporting and fostering the community and ourselves!

The LAULYP received the 2010 and 2011 Western Region YP Chapter of Excellence Award, Western Region Member of the Year, and the Affiliates Services Award at the National Urban League Centennial Conferences.
