Young Professionals LEAD Leadership. Entrepreneurship. Advocacy. Personal and Professional Development. The National Urban League, through its affiliate network, educates, develops, and prepares millennials and GenXers for future leadership roles as community advocates and affiliate volunteers. The National Urban League Young Professionals (NULYP) offers opportunities for these emerging leaders to participate in professional development programs, philanthropy and civic engagement. The YP L.E.A.D. is a training ground for emerging leaders. Each year it attracts Urban League young professionals, HBCU alumni, and members of black fraternities, sororities and professional associations. The event will engage an additional 2 million+ young professionals through social media and e-mail.
