Core offering

Urban League of Westchester County is a nonprofit civil rights organization that delivers free direct services across five program areas: Education (scholarships, Black Scholars recognition, Digital Learning Lab, homeless student support), Health (opioid overdose prevention, syringe exchange, HIV/AIDS services, vaccine equity), Jobs & Workforce Development (SCSEP, Urban Seniors Job Program, Job Ready MV), Entrepreneurship (SBA Community Navigators Pilot Program), and Justice & Civic Engagement (voter registration, civil rights advocacy). Programs are funded by individual donations, corporate sponsorships, and government grants and delivered through three satellite offices and community-based partnerships.

Product overview

The Urban League of Westchester County operates as a community-based civil rights organization offering a portfolio of direct service programs rather than a unified technology product. Its core offerings span five interconnected service areas: Education (including Westchester Black Scholars, Digital Learning Lab, and scholarships), Health (Opioid Overdose Prevention, Syringe Exchange, HIV/AIDS services, and COVID-19 vaccine equity through the All In program), Jobs & Workforce Development (SCSEP, Urban Seniors Job Program, Job Ready MV), Entrepreneurship (SBA Community Navigators Pilot Program), and Justice & Civic Engagement (Center for Social Responsibility and Justice, Reclaim Your Vote, Urban League Fights for You). Additional programming includes the annual From Trauma to Triumph Mental Health Summit. All programs are delivered through direct community services, case management, workshops, and referrals without a digital platform or software product architecture.
