The mission of the 100 Black Men of the Bay Area is to improve the quality of life within the Bay Area community and to enhance educational and economic opportunities for disadvantaged, disenfranchised, and low- income youth and families. We are committed to helping those in our community make wiser health, lifestyle, and economic decisions, and helping our youth create and accomplish educational goals that will 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.
