WELCOME
The Urban League of Central Carolinas Young Professionals (ULCCYP) is a volunteer auxiliary of the Urban League of Central Carolinas affiliate. We bring together emerging and established professionals ages 21–40 who are committed to advancing the Urban League movement through civic engagement, community outreach, and leadership development.

Our members represent a diverse range of industries and career stages, united by a shared commitment to service, equity, and impact.
A Message from our President
Nneka Ayozie
Welcome to the Urban League of Central Carolinas Young Professionals.
ā
It is both an honor and a responsibility to serve as President of ULCCYP—a community rooted in service, leadership, and collective impact. Our organization exists to advocate, engage, and develop the next generation of leaders who are committed to advancing economic empowerment, civic engagement, and social equity across the Central Carolinas region.
ā
ULCCYP is more than a professional network—it is a movement. We are a space where purpose meets action, where young professionals are equipped not only to succeed individually, but to uplift our communities together. Whether through advocacy initiatives, community service, professional development, or signature events like PROPEL, our work is grounded in impact, collaboration, and measurable outcomes.
As we move forward, my vision is clear:
-
To deepen our partnerships with corporate, civic, and community leaders
-
To create meaningful, accessible opportunities for members to grow as leaders and change-makers
-
To ensure our programs are intentional, well-executed, and aligned with the mission of the Urban League movement
This season is about alignment, accountability, and excellence. We will challenge ourselves to think bigger, operate smarter, and show up consistently—for our members and for the communities we serve.
Whether you are a current member, a prospective partner, or someone newly discovering ULCCYP, I invite you to get involved. Your voice, your skills, and your commitment matter here.
Together, we will continue to build a strong pipeline of leaders who are prepared to lead with purpose, integrity, and impact.
In service and solidarity,
Nneka R. Ayozie
