What an incredible Urban League University! Our summer programming concluded this past week. Students ended the week with a final restorative practice circle, reminding each other of their own power, how they can affect positive change, and how they can overcome barriers. Then, they had fun celebrating their accomplishments at a bowling party! We are so grateful to the volunteers who lent their experience, advice, and wisdom throughout this year's ULU. You helped to make this summer memorable and fun. Remember, education is power!

Urban League University is still going strong! This past week, students had the opportunity to participate in a robotics lab and learn the intricate details of creating, building, and maintaining robots and how they have changed our world. They also enjoyed visiting the Kiewit Luminarium, where they had fun with hands-on learning and exploring science activities. We love helping our youth grow through new experiences that challenge them. Urban League truly believes that education is power.
