In the fall of 1987, the Urban League of Philadelphia, Inc. (ULP) recognized the need to create a network of young professionals who realize the importance of civic responsibility and professional development. This recognition led to the formation of the Urban League Young Professionals (ULYP) , an organization of men and women, generally between the ages of 21 and 40.
Through its committees, the ULYP sponsors youth service projects, fund-raising activities, cultural events, leadership development workshops, and educational forums. ULYP also provides members the opportunity to network with other people in a variety of fields.
The Urban League of Philadelphia, Inc. is an affiliate of the National Urban League and ULYP is a voluntary arm of this affiliate. The Urban League Young Professionals is a non partisan, non profit, community service organization which utilizes the tools and the methods of social work, economics, law and other disciplines to secure equal opportunity in all society for minorities.
