Our mission is to create opportunities for young people in underserved communities to live a life of economic independence and upward mobility through vital skills training, mentorship, and meaningful paid work experiences.
Urban Alliance exposes young adults to early career opportunities through paid internships, mentorship, and professional development. By partnering with schools, communities, and employers, we are strengthening tomorrow’s workforce by expanding economic mobility for youth and bridging the gaps between education, exposure, and experience.
We are building a diverse next-generation workforce. Since 1996, Urban Alliance has reached over 30, 000 young adults, ages 16-24. Of that number 6000 young people have been served through our flagship High School Internship Program across the greater Washington, DC area (including Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, and Northern Virginia), Baltimore, Chicago, and Detroit.
We inspire students and young adults to dream big and achieve economic mobility. Our work supports the development of diverse talent pipelines.
In partnership with over 200+ employers, we level the playing field for young people in the workforce by equipping them with the tools to overcome the systemic barriers that prevent equal access to economic opportunity.
Our flagship High School Internship Program provides skills training, mentoring, and paid internships to high school students that keeps them connected to school or the workforce.
