AFRICAN AMERICAN LEADERSHIP
AAL members are community leaders who invest their time, resources and voice to serve those in need. AAL members are engaged and plugged in to the needs of the community, with a focus on empowering minority communities to succeed.
African American Leadership (AAL) is comprised of caring citizens who contribute $1,000 or more annually to United Way of Greater Greensboro.
FOCUS & INITIATIVES

AAMI is a pilot mentoring program focused on serving African American and Latino boys from disadvantaged environments.
