Century Partners Program

 Second graders at Community Partnership Charter School read along with a volunteer from Barclay's Capital.
On this, the 100th anniversary of the Urban League, we ask that you become a supporter of the Tacoma Urban League-Century Partners Program.  A contribution of $2500 will support the Tacoma Urban League’s (TUL) efforts;  the Century Partners Program is a symbol of what the Tacoma Urban League represents as well as what it produces—futures for young people and better lives for the disenfranchised. How does the Tacoma Urban League provide brighter futures?

  • We provide math/science education to enterprising young fourth and fifth grade girls in the President’s Club.
  • We mitigate violent tendencies in young men through violence reduction programs in the Male Involvement Program; we coach children through grief, loss and trauma in the Family Literacy Program.
  • We tutor students to prepare for WASL and college futures in Graduation Plus.
  • We support the economic and educational advancement of women in our Women’s Support Group.
  • We drive multiple public health initiatives through partnerships with City of Tacoma and Pierce County. 
Through your contribution, you open TUL’s doors even wider to the community. Under the leadership of Dr. Dorothy Anderson, the TUL has seen significant grant and gift support for these educational programs, but has also seen waning support for overall operations.  Your funds go directly to support the staff, space and collateral materials that drive the quality of our educational programs and the mission that has defined TUL as an essential community enterprise.As a thank you to those who choose to support the TUL’s talented young people, each year TUL will publicly thank its donors to the Century Partners Program and list them on the growing list of Century Partners on its website. 

Any questions about our programs or ways of

supporting them can be directed to:

Unnatural Causes

The acclaimed documentary series broadcast by PBS and now used by thousands of organizations around the country to tackle the root causes of our alarming socio-economic and racial inequities in health.
The four-hour series crisscrosses the nation uncovering startling new findings that suggest there is much more to our health than bad habits, health care, or unlucky genes. The social circumstances in which we are born, live, and work can actually get under our skin and disrupt our physiology as much as germs and viruses.
