Advancing Econonic Mobility in Urban Communities
At Urban Excellence, we believe that success should lift entire communities, not just individuals. Our work is rooted in the conviction that when one of us grows, all of us move forward. That’s why we focus on advancing economic mobility in urban and underserved communities—helping people and organizations unlock potential, create opportunity, and thrive.
Our mission is simple yet transformative: to advance economic mobility in urban communities by equipping people and institutions to grow, lead, and thrive. Each breakthrough creates a ripple effect—opening doors, strengthening families, inspiring organizations, and expanding opportunity for generations to come.
What We Do
We equip individuals, families, organizations, and leaders with the tools to grow right where they are. Our work centers on four pillars:
- Trainings
Experiential, community-based trainings that inspire personal growth, strengthen leadership, and fuel collective impact. - Classes & Courses
Practical, world-class classes on topics like leadership, financial literacy, wellness, entrepreneurship, and personal development—tailored for underserved communities. - Coaching & Consulting
Affordable, accessible coaching on a sliding scale, designed to help people navigate challenges, build resilience, and pursue purpose with clarity. - Coach Training & Certification
Through our ICF-accredited Coach Academy, we train and certify diverse coaches from marginalized communities, building a pipeline of leaders who transform their neighborhoods from within.
Why it Matters
Too often, underserved communities are told they need to leave their circumstances to find success. We believe the opposite: transformation begins here and now. By investing in people where they are, we build stronger neighborhoods, foster new leaders, and create sustainable change.
At Urban Excellence, we are more than a training organization—we are a movement. A movement for growth. A movement for equity. A movement for thriving communities.
Join Us
Become part of our vibrant community, where every step forward contributes to collective success. Together, we can build a thriving environment where everyone has the opportunity to excel. Because when we all do better, we all do better.
