Young Professionals Summit
Build partnerships with a fast growing segment of the Urban League movement: young professionals, 21- 44 years old. The Urban League Young Professionals has 62 chapters and over 4000 members nationwide. (They are young, urban, savvy, and civic-minded. They are the new influencers and a new generation of black professionals.) The National Urban League Young Professionals (YP) Summit is an integral part of the conference. It gives the influencers a chance to network with your business and institution executives, and community and political leaders. The YP Summit includes a power luncheon, leadership development sessions and presentations by keynote speakers on the cutting-edge of change. Each Summit day includes one or two social events that provide additional opportunities that put you in close contact with influencers.
NULITES Youth Leadership Summit
Each year, approximately 300 to 400 youth and their chaperons gather in the conference city for training and development in preparation for college and careers, and to gain important life skills. For four days, the 14 to 18 year-old youth are immersed in college preparation and career exploration and financial literacy training. NULITES (National Urban League Incentives to Excel and Succeed) is a youth development program with chapters in 62 Urban League affiliates nationwide. Hosted off-site at a nearby college campus, the youth participate in a select number of events at the adult conference, including the kick-off session and the exhibits.
