The mission of the Greater Phoenix Urban League (GPUL) is to equip the disadvantaged with tools to achieve economic and social equality. This mission is realized through relevant programs in child development, college preparation, job readiness, housing, and small business support. The GPUL implements its mission through advocacy, bridge building, program services and research. While there is still much to be done, the GPUL works on behalf of those in need has literally touched thousands of lives around the City of Phoenix and surrounding areas.
