Urban Investors helps emerging leaders in banking and finance understand the issues facing urban communities so they are better positioned to lead urban investment strategies that make a real difference. Pre-school education, career pathways, public safety, housing, and infrastructure investment are areas that matter to thriving neighborhoods. Through Urban Investors, bankers learn how to turn around investment trends while understanding what makes urban lending attractive to banks.
In 2019, at the invitation of Augsburg University President Paul Pribbenow, Urban Adventures changed its name to Urban Investors and moved from United Way to Augsburg where it is connected to the Strommen Center for Meaningful Work and the Sabo Center for Democracy and Citizenship.
