Greater Baltimore
Urban League Guild
Uniting Volunteers for
Community Empowerment and Support
The Greater Baltimore Urban League Guild stands as the heartbeat of volunteerism within the Greater Baltimore Urban League, championing
the mission to extend public understanding and bolster support for the National Urban League and its transformative programs. As an essential
volunteer auxiliary, Guild members are pivotal in promoting voter registration and rights, embodying the spirit of civic engagement and
empowerment.
Our Goal
Founded in New York City in 1942 by Mrs. Mollie Moon, the first Guild set forth with a vision to “Enhance and improve relations with the community and general public; develop and implement community programs and fundraising activities on behalf of the Urban League affiliate.” This mission continues to guide Guild members as they donate their time, skills, and passion to make a meaningful difference in the community.
What We DO
- Voter Registration and Rights: We are deeply committed to ensuring that every citizen's voice is heard through active voter registration drives and education on voter rights, striving towards an inclusive democracy.
- Fundraising and Leadership Development: Guild members are instrumental in organizing fundraising initiatives like the annual Equal Opportunity Awards Day Dinner and Annual Conference, which are vital for supporting the Urban League's programs. Through these activities, we also focus on nurturing leadership skills among community members, encouraging active participation in addressing local issues.
- Mentorship and Community Support: Our volunteers serve as mentors and tutors, offering guidance and support to the youth in our community. We are also ready to assist with projects as needed by local Urban League affiliates, from educational programs to community outreach.
