The GUILD

be at Heart of the empowerment Movement

The auxiliary group known as the Urban League Austin Area Urban League Guild is a chapter National Council of Urban League Guilds and has been an integral part of the National Urban League movement since 1946. The “Guild” was established to act as a link to enhance local affiliates in program implementation and financial support. The Austin Area Urban League Guild was charted in 1977-1998. The AAUL Guild was reactivated on June 9, 2012. The mission of the Austin Area Urban League Guild is to support the local affiliate by strengthening its presence in the community through fundraising, community service, leadership development, and public relations.

The National Council of Urban League Guilds is comprised of volunteer auxiliaries of the National Urban League.
