Welcome - My name is Kelly Langford, President and CEO of the Tucson Urban League, Inc. I am excited for the opportunity to present our program to you over the Internet.

We have on this page a brief history of the Tucson Urban League, our Mission Statement, recent press releases and a list of our Board of Directors.

I trust that while navigating these pages, you will gain insight into the mission, programs and community activities of the Tucson Urban League.

 

A Brief History of The Tucson Urban League

The Tucson Urban League is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and was founded in 1971 in response to a significantly high unemployment rate among minorities in Tucson. A committee of businessmen from the Tucson Chamber of Commerce, led by Henry Quinto, organized this affiliate and for 35 years the Tucson Urban League has been a moving force in creating change for minorities.

Located in the Empowerment Zone, the League provides great opportunities to reinvest in Tucson. The Empowerment Zone is a mixture of tax, financing and work training incentives that are designed to revitalize our inner city. Federal tax incentives are now available to support local businesses and encourage the hiring of Zone residents. The federal tax incentives benefit businesses by improving the bottom line and benefit individuals by increasing job opportunities and income.
