Dear Friends: As the Urban League of Broward County closes one of its most successful years, we have many accomplishments to celebrate. It was a year of tremendous growth. On the heels of a $1 million gift from JM Family Enterprises in 2010, we broke ground on our future home, the Community Empowerment Center. The construction of the center delivers a powerful message to our supporters: the Urban League is built to last. Doria Camaraza Board Chair
Dr. Germaine Smith-Baugh President and CEO Urban League of Broward County
LAYING THE FOUNDATION Throughout our growth, the Urban League focused on fine-tuning programs that would address the barriers to education, jobs, housing and health for low-income residents in Broward County. The Community Empowerment Center will allow us to broaden our reach in the community by serving more children, families and youth in need. We knew that our expansion project would not only add economic value to the surrounding community—but it would also fit the true needs of our clients. GOING BEYOND CONSTRUCTION Laying the foundation for our new home was only half the battle. It was equally important to design a blueprint for improving the continuum of critical services offered by the Urban League. Our construction crew— composed of our dedicated Board of Directors, volunteers and staff, played an important role in building the “new” Urban League. It is due to their commitment and the generosity of our investors that allows us to empower communities and change lives each year. We are pleased to share some highlights from the past year with you and look forward to building a better Broward County for our families, colleagues and friends.

Through job skills training, homeownership workshops, tutoring and academic achievement programs, youth development prevention programs, second chance & trade programs for high school drops outs and diversion programs for young people who have strayed off the path and are in trouble with the law, we can continue to make a significant impact in Broward County. The 28,000-square-foot center is being constructed on 2.5 acres located on Northwest 27th Avenue just south of Sistrunk Blvd., adjacent to the African-American Research Library and Cultural Center in unincorporated Broward County. The Community Empowerment Center will be a place where parents, youth and residents can come not only to get exceptional Urban League programming, but to convene and mobilize others in the community around the variety of issues affecting their lives. It will be a physical resource in the form of training rooms, technology labs, digital classrooms and community meeting space for area residents.
