MEMBER OF THE
NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE
UNITED GOOD NEIGHBORS
WORKING TO IMPROVE THE TOTAL COMMUNITY IN THE AREA OF INTERGROUP RELATIONS
January 13, 1977
MEMORANDUM
TO: Urban League Membership Committee
The following information may be helpful to the Membership
Committee in reviewing some of the activities of the Urban League:
The Urban League of Portland provides a professional, re-
sponsible interracial service essential for the well-being of
the community, a service helping everybody towards the goal of
equality for all, anc enabling blacks and other minorities to cultivate and develop their abilities.
The Urban League was organized
in Portland in 194.5 and it is one of the United Way agencies.
It
is an affiliate of the National Urban League which was founded in
1910 for the purpose of creating a better climate of interracial
understanding by improving the living and working conditions of
minority groups and by eliminating discrimination and segregation.
The Urban League of Portland has a multi-racial membership.
it is governed by a Board of local citizens from many segments of
the community and who are from a variety of occupations.
The
Urban League has an excellent, dedicated professional Staff that
administers and operates the many programs and services the Urban
League provides the community.
The Urban League's main office is located in the Community
Service Center, 718 West Burnside, Portland, Oregon 97209, telephone number 224-0151.
The Urban League also maintains a field
office in the Walnut Park Building, 5329 N.E. Union, Portland,
Oregon 97211, telephone number 288-6517.
The League is accessible
to the people who use and need its services.
Page 2
January 13, 1977
Employment is one of the important responsibilities of the
Urban League and they provide the following services:
/
The Urban League operates an Economic Development and Employment Department under the supervision of George Rankins.
It
carries on a day to day employment program to broaden employment
opportunities for minority persons by working with, employers and
counseling with job applicants.
The Urban League Employment
Department provides a resource for companies that have affirmative
action plans.
There is much work yet to be done for there are
many jobs and professions that have not attracted a representative
number of people from minority communities.
The Urban League operates the Labor Education Advancement
Program -- LEAP -- which is a key unit for the Portland metropolitan area in preparing members of the minority community for
employment in the building and construction trades.
The LEAP staff
recruits, counsels and prepareS. people for entry into the appren-
ticeship and training programs.
It assists qualified people to
upgrade into the journeyman status.
The Portland Urban League LEAP operation has been one of the
top programs in the country and it has been an outstanding service
to the entire community.
Portland has been spared the disruptive
problems in the building and consuction industry that has been
endured by such cities as Philadelphia and Seattle.
LEAP provides
the organization where Labor, Contract.ors, concerned Government
agencies and the minority community can work together toward the
goal of providing employment for minority workers.
LEAP is funded
by the U.S. Department of Labor and sub-contracted through the
National Urban League.
Page 3
January 13, 1977
Also within LEAP there is a Women's Component division that
has the responsibility of placing women in non-traditional jobs.
The Urban League has a very active Education and Youth Incentives Department led by its Director, Vernon Chatman with the
mission to help provide minority students with educational, oppor-
tunities and to stimulate and encourage young people to prepare
themselves for useful and productive jobs and professions.
The
Department develops cooperative relationships with educational
institutions and other youth oriented organizations.
The Department administers scholarship programs.
Companies
that wish to develop minority personnel to become participants in
their industry use the Urban League to operate appropriate scholarships.
The Urban League will do all the work from selecting
qualified students to providing counseling support during their
training period.
The Education Department conducts "Career Awareness Seminars"
for high school students in various sections of the city that is
open to all students interested in attending.
The Urban League
enlists the help of business and the professions to present these
seminars to enable students to become aware of careers and jobs
that are available, andthe study and knowledge required to be
prepared for such jobs.
One of the highly valuable services provided by the Urban
League's Education Department is the publication of a reference
book "Minority Potential"*.
This reference provides a comprehen-
sive list of minority students attending college in the State of
Oregon giving a complete outline of their interests, training,
*Original title was "Black Potential"
January 13, 1977
Page 4
studies and type of work they wish to pursue.
A copy of
Minority
Potential' is essential for all personnel departments, particularly, if their company has an affirmative action plan.
The Urban League of Portland operates the School - Community
Program which works in support of Portland Public Schools Administrative Transfer Program for desegregation.
This unit works
with parents to increase their involvement to further educational
opportunities
Seminars are held for the parents
and achievement.
Parents are informed
to help clarify and define school programs.
of school functions and programs.
When needed, transportation
is provided to make it possible for parents to participate in
school activities.
Parents are counseled to help achieve solutions
for students and schools when problems arise,
The staff seeks
host homes for transfer students in the resident community.
When certain students require special help, the Program provides tutoring in basic skills to enable the student to become
successful in the classroom.
The School - Community Program is funded by the U.S. Departmont of Health, Education and Welfare Emergency School Aid Act.
The Urban League of Portland has an effective and efficient
administrative organization, and for many years has provided
reliable human services to the community.
Because of this avail-
able resource, the Urban League was requested to become the parent
organization of the Senior Adult Center which was previously under
the direction of Model Cities.
The Urban League has assumed this
responsibility and has been the administrative head of the Senior
Adult Center for more than a year.
This past summer the City of Portland requested the Urban
Page 5
January 13, 1977
League to assume the administrative responsibility for the Northeast Youth Service center, which it did.
The community can be grateful that there is a capable and
independent organization like the Urban League that makes it possible for these important services to continue to be available.
The Urban League is the principal agency in Portland to
represent the minority community.
Its Executive Director, James
Brooks, Staff and active members serve on numerous committees,
boards and appear at a multitude of meetings, hearings, commissions
and councils in both the private sector and government, as responsible, knowledgable and understanding representatives of the
minority community.
During these times of our social develop-
ment, this representation by Urban League of Portland is invaluable
to the well-being of our community.
The current standing committees are listed below:

this committee works to develop new opportunities for employment

Page 6
January 13, 1977

Dear Jack:
I am sorry that I will be unable to attend the Urban
League Board Meeting Scheduled for February 20 at 7.: 30 p.m.
because of a prior commitment at that same time.
I previously agreed to review, with appropriate staff
people, proposed amendments to the constitution and bylaws
after Board comments had been obtained, with the notion of
putting the agreed upon changes into the appropriate "legalese."
I continue to be willing to do so if you desire.
truly yours,
