The mission of the 100 Black Men of the Bay Area is to improve the quality of life within the Bay Area and beyond, by advancing the social, economic, health, and educational progress of African Americans.
We focus on the low to moderate income community, and offer programming and resources to support wise financial, health and lifestyle choices that can lead to family-sustaining wages and long-term career and life success. Our motto, “What They See Is What They’ll Be” refers to a “lead by example” approach that resonates with our youth who often lack the exposure or positive behavior modeling from caring and successful African American men.
The 100's signature mentoring program is an effective, evidence-based and strategic intervention that helps youth reach their full potential and become contributing members of society.
