Our President & CEO, along with our dedicated staff from our Housing department, Buffalo C.O.M.H.P.S department and our Youth department, attended the National Urban League 2024 Whitney M. Young, Jr. Leadership Development Conference in New York City this week! Staff also got to support our very own Tracy Bolton, Director of Re-Entry Programs & Services, as she represented us on the panel "Clearing the Path Forward: Exploring the Expungement Ecosystem & Perspectives on the Urban Expungement Program". The event brought together passionate leaders from across the nation to expand expertise, build community, and drive the Urban League movement forward! #Leadership #WhitneyYoungConference #CommunityImpact #bulny #staffhighlight

Today we recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day, honoring the history, culture, and strength of Indigenous communities. Buffalo is located on the traditional lands of the Seneca Nation, part of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. We honor their enduring presence and resilience, acknowledging that this land has been home to Indigenous peoples long before its colonization. As we reflect on this day, we want to encourage learning from and supporting Indigenous communities in their ongoing fight for sovereignty, justice, and cultural preservation. #bulny #indigenouspeoplesday #buffalo #seneca

We had an amazing time last week at the Buffalo Urban League Employee Appreciation event! It was a day filled with joy, laughter, and gratitude as we celebrated the anniversaries of our dedicated team members. From the delicious food to the lively dancing, it was a perfect way to recognize the hard work and commitment of our employees. A special highlight of the day was the incredible entertainment from a magician! Thank you to everyone who made this event such a success! Here’s to continuing our work with renewed energy and shared purpose. #EmployeeAppreciation #TeamCelebration #BuffaloUrbanLeague #Gratitude #bulny
