Message from the President:

I’m on the move for the Movement!!!

Welcome to the Urban League of Middle Tennessee and let me say, Happy Birthday to the National Urban League Movement!

The National Urban League is celebrating 100 years since the start of the Movement in September, 2010. Known for its policy initiatives, advocacy and services around workforce training and employment services, housing, entrepreneur support and education, the Movement has grown to 100 affiliates in 38 states and in 2009, more than 2 million were served throughout the country through the affiliate network.

The Urban League of Middle Tennessee touched more than 5,000 who came through our doors or called for resources. Through those who are connected with employment with our support ULMT returns more than 3 million dollars annually to the greater Nashville economy.

Committed to service, committed to connecting people to opportunity, committed to “Empowering People, Changing Lives”, your Urban League is striving to continue its work as a force for change.

Expect More, Achieve More

“Expect More, Achieve More” is a public-awareness campaign designed to reach parents of students in Grades 3 through 8 in advance of new statewide Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) scores beingmailed to the home in mid-September. The new scores, resulting from tests administered statewide in April 2010, are the first to reflect Tennessee’s new and higher academic standards. While state officials have made no formal projections, it is widely presumed that the new scores will show a steep drop-off in student proficiency in key subjects such as reading, mathematics and language arts. This is because Tennessee’s students are being held to higher academic standards for the first time, and it may take a while for students to catch up to the more rigorous coursework.
