The Greater Washington Urban League, based in Hyattsville, MD, is a renowned organization dedicated to empowering communities and promoting social justice. Led by the late Maudine Rice Cooper for 23 years, the League has expanded its service area to Maryland's Prince George's County and Montgomery County, while also making significant contributions to the National Urban League.
Under Cooper's visionary leadership, the League has established various centers and programs, including learning centers, a development center, a center for financial inclusion and entrepreneurship, a small business center, a housing services center, and a family wellness center. Additionally, the League's community service auxiliaries, such as Thursday Network, have played a vital role in engaging youth in civic activities. Through their advocacy institute and commitment to education and awareness, the League continues to mobilize communities and inspire positive change.
