About

Our Mission

The National Urban League is the oldest civil rights organization dedicated to economic empowerment in order to elevate the standard of living in historically underserved communities.

As one of the National Urban League's 100+ affiliates, The Charleston Trident Urban League assists African-Americans and other disadvantaged minorities in Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester counties to achieve economic and social equality. The Charleston Trident Urban League implements its mission through advocacy, direct services and working in collaboration with local and state agencies and through partnerships with individuals and members of the corporate community.

The Charleston Trident Urban League is the only multi-service non-profit in the tri-county area committed to helping families and individuals take an active role in their economic future through five key areas: education and youth empowerment, economic self sufficiency, health and quality of life improvement, civic engagement and leadership, and civil rights and racial justice.
