About Greater Baltimore Urban League

The purpose of GBLA is to support the objectives of GBUL, to promote the professional development of GBLA members, and to provide community service. GBLA’s mission is to engage young professionals, from ages 21 to 40, in NUL’s movement towards enabling African Americans and other minorities to secure economic self-reliance, parity and power, and civil rights.

We are a dynamic organization for young professionals looking for ways to give back to the Baltimore community, connect with the Urban League movement, and network with like-minded individuals age 21-40.
