Empowering Communities. Changing Lives.
The Greater Washington Urban League (GWUL) has guided individuals, families and regional government through systemic challenges over thepast 79 years. In that time, GWUL has impacted over five million lives, using the approaches of social work, advocacy, law and other disciplines. As a staple in our community, GWUL has been working tirelessly for a just and more equitable society serving residents in Washington, DC, Montgomery County and Prince George’s County, MD.
GWUL manages and administers programs in: education; employment and training; housing and community development; health promotion; financial literacy; and emergency assistance. Our mission is to ensure everyone in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area is on the road to selfsufficiency through a variety of innovative programs. In doing so, it’s essential to increase the economic empowerment of Black, Latino and other traditionally underserved populations to share equally in the responsibilities and rewards of full citizenship.
