The New York Urban League Young Professionals (NYULYP) founded on April 1, 2003, is the award-winning and nationally recognized volunteer auxiliary of the New York Urban League (NYUL). We are a non-profit organization whose mission is to enable African Americans and other underserved ethnic communities to secure a first-class education, economic self-reliance, and equal respect of their civil rights through programs, services, and advocacy. This April, as NYULYP celebrates 20 years of service to our community and affiliate, we invite you -- our friends and partners -- to invest in our mission and to help us continue the great work that we are doing throughout the 5 boroughs of New York City.
You can donate $20 or more in celebration of 20 years of service today!
Your donation will support The Whitney M. Young, Jr. Scholarship Program of the New York Urban League. Scholarships are awarded to exceptional NYC high school seniors who demonstrate strong potential for academic achievement, are of excellent character, have proven leadership capabilities and demonstrated commitment to community service and extra-curricular activities. NYULYP donates annually to the scholarship fund and has helped disburse almost $40,000 to scholars in the past four years.
In 2022 alone, we granted scholarships to 25 deserving graduating seniors and hope to increase this number in 2023! Every donation will assist young New Yorkers from underserved communities to follow their educational dreams.

More about NYULYP
NYULYP is a diverse group of 21–40-year-old working professionals that are committed to providing a unique networking opportunity for individuals to associate with like-minded individuals interested in community service, personal and professional development, civic engagement and civil rights, and access to employment opportunities. In the last 5 years alone, we have mobilized our young professional network to give over 100,000 hours of service to our community, petition our local lawmakers on issues like “raise the age” and “stop & frisk”, supported local Black & minority business owners though our marketplace opportunities, co-host the Annual NYUL HBCU Fair for 7000+ high school students and their parents, and give voice to our young professional community through the State of Young Black New York Conference. And that’s just a part of what we do! We are proud of the critical work we do in the name of compassion, service, justice, and advocacy. To learn more about the NYUL Whitney M.
