Your COLUMBUS URBAN LEAGUE (CUL) has always advocated for access and opportunity for all.  Everyone wins when more people realize their potential and fully participate in the economy. Our work could add as much as $42 billion to Central Ohio’s GDP over the next decade, while also lifting 42,000 families out of poverty and putting more than 153,000 people to work.

CUL is now laser focused on preparing people for the high wage jobs of the future, developing young leaders and future employees, building wealth and cultivating more entrepreneurs and small businesses. As a trusted, respected community resource since 1918, we understand how to be a bridge that connects the workforce talent needs of our companies to the personal success of our people.
