The CAUL promotes diversity and racial inclusion by providing multifaceted programming that assists A

The Charleston Area Urban League (CAUL) promotes diversity and racial inclusion and provides multifaceted programming that assists African Americans and all other underserved groups to achieve social equality and economic self-sufficiency. Since its inception in 1991, the CAUL has established positive and longstanding partnerships with local and national corporations as well as state and local governments to solve complex social and economic problems. The Charleston Area Urban League is an affiliate of the National Urban League headquartered in New York City. Founded in 1910, the National Urban League is the nation’s oldest and largest community-based movement devoted to moving African Americans, the poor and other minorities into economic and social mainstream. There are over 100 affiliates of the National Urban League located in 35 states and the District of Columbia providing direct services to more than 2 million people nationwide through programs, advocacy and research. Over the years, we have created and implemented programs to improve the socioeconomic conditions of minority and low-income individuals. Through unique programming, combined with public policy, Charleston Area Urban League has assisted thousands of individuals and families in the Charleston community. The organization also assumes an advocacy role that addresses essential elements in the community such as promoting understanding and greater racial harmony.
