Welcome to The Leaguers, Inc. – A Legacy of Service and Empowerment

Founded in 1943, The Leaguers, Inc. proudly stands as the oldest incorporated African American social service agency in New Jersey. For over seven decades, our commitment has been unwavering in providing high-quality, multi-faceted services to over 1,700 families annually. Our journey, rooted in Newark and extending to Irvington, Union Township, Roselle, and Elizabeth, is a testament to our dedication to community upliftment.

Understanding that it takes a village, The Leaguers collaborates extensively with social service agencies across Essex and Union County. This synergy ensures a holistic approach to family wellbeing, reinforcing our belief in “Opportunity through Education.”

Our mission goes beyond education; it's about empowering children and families through diverse educational and cultural programs. We aim to foster self-growth, personal development, and a deep-seated pride in one’s community. This commitment to enhancing the quality of life is the cornerstone of our legacy.
