Each year the National Urban League gives back to the community where they convene the conference.  Hundreds of attendees volunteer a portion of their day to assemble hundreds of backpacks of school supplies for the community’s needy population, personal care packages for the homeless living in shelters, and baby products for expectant mothers in the Volunteer Zone. A number of corporate partners donate thousands of items each year and their employees donate time to assemble the packages. 

Company sponsorships and donations for the Volunteer Zone will be recognized on signage, appropriate e-blasts, on the Conference App and in an e-blast distributed to over 30,000 twitter followers.  The sponsor will be given the opportunity to make remarks at a press conference which is tentatively scheduled to be held on the final day of the Volunteer Zone - Saturday.
