The Indianapolis Urban League employs a five-point strategy tailored to local needs in order to implement the mission of our movement:
Education and Youth Empowerment: Ensuring that all of our children are well educated and prepared for economic self-reliance in the 21st century through our signature programs.
Economic Empowerment: Empowering all people to attain economic self-sufficiency through job training, good jobs, home ownership, entrepreneurship and wealth accumulation.
Health and Quality of Life Empowerment: Working to build healthy and safe communities and to eliminate health disparities through prevention, healthy eating, fitness, as well as access to affordable healthcare.
Civic Engagement and Leadership Empowerment: Empowering all people to take an active role in determining the direction, leadership, public policy and quality of life in their communities by full participation as citizens and voters, as well as through active community service and leadership development.
Civil Rights and Racial Justice Empowerment: Promoting and ensuring civil rights by actively working to eradicate all barriers to equal participation in all aspects of American society, whether political, economic, social, educational or cultural.
