The Urban League of San Diego County has served the greater San Diego community, reaching out to not just African Americans, but to people of all colors, ages and beliefs. Since 1953, the League has won some battles, but many basic rights have yet to be guaranteed for all. The Urban League of San Diego County is one of more than a 100 National Urban League affiliates nationwide dedicated to empowering African Americans to enter the social and economic mainstream. Our primary constituency is San Diego Countys African American population, which numbers approximately 158,000, but Urban League programs are open to all. Approximately 15,000 people per year take advantage of the Leagues programs and services, all of which are free of charge. Another 7,000 participate in the Leagues annual Career Fair, which links those seeking employment with more than 100 area businesses.

The MissionTo assist African Americans and other underserved people in San Diego County to achieve social and economic equality through advocacy, bridge building, program services and research.

The StrategyThe Urban League employs the following five point strategy in order to implement the mission of our movement:1. Education and Youth Empowerment: Ensuring all children are well educated and prepared for self reliance in the 21st century through college scholarships, early childhood literacy, and after care programs. 2. Economic Empowerment: Empowering all people in attaining economic self sufficiency through job training, good jobs, homeownership, entrepreneurship and wealth accumulation. 3. Health and Quality of Life Empowerment: Working to build healthy and safe communities to eliminate health disparities through prevention, healthy eating, fitness, as well as ensuring access and complete access to affordable healthcare for all people. 4. Civic Engagement and Leadership Empowerment: Empowering all people to take an active role in determining the direction, quality of life, public policy and leadership in their communities by full participation as citizens and voters, as well as through active community service and leadership development. 5. Civil Rights and Racial Justice Empowerment: Promoting and ensuring our civil rights by actively working to eradicate all barriers to equal participation in all aspects of American society, whether political, economic, social, educational or cultural.

Lift evry voice and sing Till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; Let our rejoicing rise High as the listning skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past hast taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us. Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won. God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who has brought us thus far on the way; Thous who has by Thy might Led us into the light Keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met thee, Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee, Shadowed beneath Thy hand, May we forever stand True to our God, True to our native land.

lyrics by James Weldon Johnson
