The Restoring Hope campaign will raise funds to establish an essential community resource: a spacious, accessible hub for critical programs and services that foster continual
​self-improvement, vibrant neighborhoods, and equitable opportunity for all.
For more than 100 years, The Urban League of MetropolitanSt. Louis has championed the value of all people. What began in 1918 in response to the East St. Louis race riot has grown into the largest and most successful affiliate of the National Urban League movement. The Urban League is leading the efforts to advocate on behalf of and empower all people, especially African Americans, to achieve economic self-reliance and social equality.

From Head Start education programs for children to senior empowerment services for the elderly, the Urban League advances a holistic approach to meet the needs of our communities in St. Louis County, St. Louis City, and St. Clair County, Illinois.
​
The Urban League makes St. Louis stronger by lifting and empowering people. By giving them the tools needed to make tomorrow better, you can help us make tomorrow possible.
