Your donation makes a difference!

The mission of urban university is to educate, employ, and empower single mothers transitioning from public assistance by providing on-the-job training in customer service and retail skills along with personal and professional development coaching. Additionally, we operate urban house, transitional housing for single mothers working in our enterprise and single mothers from the larger community, in need of housing.
