Building a Stronger Future Together in 2025

New year, new opportunities—this isn’t just a tagline, it’s our promise to you. At the Urban League of Westchester, we’re stepping into 2025 with determination and action. No empty resolutions here—just real solutions to help you take charge of your future.

We see you, Westchester: balancing hopes and hurdles, dreaming of brighter tomorrows while navigating today’s challenges. And we’re here, not as spectators, but as your partners in progress.

Are you a Mount Vernon resident striving to gain the skills and confidence to secure your next job? Or perhaps you're 55 and older, seeking a path back into the workforce? Our Job Ready MV program and the employment initiative for low-income seniors are designed with you in mind. From workshops to one-on-one guidance, we’re here to help you stand tall in today’s job market.

Education remains a cornerstone of empowerment, and we’re committed to supporting the next generation. Through the Black Scholars Program, we celebrate academic excellence and uplift students from participating schools as they prepare for college and beyond. For those facing the unique challenges of homelessness, the Homeless Student Education Success Program provides the resources and support needed to stay on track and thrive in school.

Health is wealth, and we’re addressing some of the most pressing concerns in our community. With a focus on harm reduction, HIV/AIDS and COVID education, our advocates are breaking down stigmas and providing the tools and knowledge to help individuals make informed, empowered decisions.

This year, we’re taking empowerment to the next level—not just as an aspiration but as a shared mission. We invite you to join our workshops, connect with our programs, and lean on us as a resource. Together, we’ll take those goals you’ve been nurturing and craft a plan to achieve them.

2025 is more than just a new year; it’s our chance to create a collective impact. This is Westchester’s year to rise—not individually, but together.

Let’s not just talk about change—let’s build it. Volunteer, share the word, and engage with us to ensure that this time next year, we’ll celebrate achievements that once felt out of reach.

This year, let’s empower Westchester—step by step, hand in hand—with the Urban League leading the way.
