Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts

Founded in 1917, the Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts (ULEM) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization which is one of the oldest affiliates within the National Urban League movement.  From the time that our doors opened to the at-large Boston community and surrounding metropolitan area residents, ULEM has been employing a multi-point strategy to deliver services and programs which aim to increase self-reliance, specifically in the area of workforce development.The mission of the Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts is to be a champion of civil rights dedicated to helping people improve their lives and to build stronger communities by providing local residents with education, job training, and placement at no cost. For nearly 100 years, ULEM’s programs and services have given hope to our participants and made a lasting, positive impact in the community.Focusing on this overarching goal leads us to provide opportunities for every person that walks through our door to realize economic empowerment through basic- and mid-level skills trainings, certifications, internships, and job placements.Offering programs and services at no cost to every participant, we facilitate an array of skills-training workshops which cover a variety of job skills and expertise; serve a wide age range; and engage both non-profit organizations and corporate partners.  All program participants receive Case Management Services and Placement Assistance.  ULEM operates an Employment Resource Center, which is available to anyone who is in need of computer access for the purposes of attaining employment.The Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts offers two auxiliary groups: the Urban League of Eastern MA Guild (ULEM Guild) and the Young Professionals Network of the Urban League of Eastern MA (YPN-ULEM).  Both groups have open membership, facilitate events and workshops and serve the community in alignment with ULEM’s mission and strategic goals.Holistically, through the three channels – the ULEM, Guild and YPN – the ULEM impacts thousands of people annually.
