Strategic Pillars

The 100 mentors youth through a worldwide network of chapters. Across the United States and Internationally, 100 Black Men of America, Inc. and 100 Black Men International are positively impacting the lives of tomorrow’s leaders through the 100’s signature programs such as Mentoring the 100 Way and Collegiate 100®.

Members of the 100 are trained and certified to become mentors, advocates, and role models for the youth within their communities.
