urban university is a 501c3 nonprofit working to improve the socioeconomic status of impoverished individuals by providing employability training, coaching and employment opportunities. Over the past 20 years, we’ve successfully delivered workforce development training and coaching services to prepare more than 1,600 low-income individuals for successful entry into the workforce.

The Workshop was launched in 2024 to expand the social impact of urban university as a destination for creativity and community building.
