I genuinely look forward to going to work, doing the work and extending myself to the work! I legit cried, prayed and dreamed of this job. I didn't know where, nor did I care where I ended up working BUT The Greater Washington Urban League answered and hear I am! I wouldn't trade this place for the world.  The people, the culture and the work have all been loving, helpful, fulfilling, satisfying, inclusive, nurturing, familial, and most of all supportive. The community in the big red "house" on the corner of 14th Street has been absolutely warm and welcoming. The work itself has reinvigorated me and has giving me a new purpose and drive. Helping my community is what wakes me up in the morning, GWUL is what keeps me motivated. I LOVE IT HERE!

I was assigned to the Oasis Senior Center. So I had to work with the office of aging. It was a new experience for me as I had not had much work experience when I started my internship there.

I learned how to do case work and conduct intakes. I worked as a social worker/activity coordinator. Helped with organizing the seniors' activities for the day and interacted with them on a daily basis.

The staff was welcoming and very helpful. They were very caring and took the time and energy to make sure I was comfortable with my tasks and in my position.

I do not think that there was any part of the job that I did not enjoy with my short time at The Greater Washington Urban League. I most enjoyed working with the seniors and getting to know each of them individually.

In my more than two years at the Greater Washington Urban League (GWUL).  I have used my calling to empower the community I serve. Although I came with little experience, I have soared in my short time here. I began my career as a Customer Service Specialist and am now the Associate Director of Client Experience. GWUL has created a culture that is inviting, comfortable and uplifting. If your skills fit, bring your talents to our GWUL team. We would love to have you on board!

Typically my day is good becasue I know my area and responsibility. Provided support to all areas within the housing diviison as well as volunteering services and assitance to others within Company with  support if needed. Unclear how decisions with management and leadership are determined. Compensation and recognition are not merit or performance based. Organization and structure of programs and staff need clarity  and expectations..

My time at the Greater Washington Urban League has been a valuable part of my career journey. Working here allowed me to grow both personally and professionally while contributing to meaningful, community-focused work. I had the opportunity to collaborate with a dedicated team, take on challenging projects, and strengthen my skills in communication, organization, and problem-solving. It’s been a rewarding experience that I will always appreciate as part of my professional development.

arrive to work send email to supervisor or director statin I am in the office had to be by 8:30. I learned to document, document, document, coworker  are great it is a relaxed atmosphere in the PG office love to joke around and talk about current events. This is very team player atmosphere. The hardest part of the job is do last minute report but with the team it gets done. The most enjoyable part of the job is the assistance you provide people with anything from free food to job assistance.

I very much enjoyed my summer at Greater Washington Urban League. It was a privilege to work with not only my team, but others in the building who are so passionate about the work they do and serving the surrounding communities. I got a chance to see how successful non-profits function from the inside out, and the impacts that GWUL has on many struggling, DMV residents. I worked with the new Black Fatherhood Blueprint program for just 3 months, but I found a sense of family amongst the team and cannot wait to see the program progress.

My current job position is as a Housing Coordinator. I meet with client's on a daily basis to complete annual recertification, conduct new lease-up and answers any questions that may arise. My duties are not only limited to that I also have to ensure each client is making their rental payments on time. I have to also meet and or answer any questions Landlord may have at any given time. I currently have a caseload of 84 clients to serve. The highlight of my days is when I'm able to assist a client in securing a new home/apartment.
