The Quad County Urban League was established in 1975 to address the serious need for job training, equal access to employment, and the educational enrichment of primarily low income and minority citizens.
The agency, an affiliate of the National Urban League, seeks to increase individual and family self-sufficiency through the delivery of direct services, education, outreach and advocacy.
In 1999, the organization created an endowment fund to provide support for its numerous programs and projects.
