The vision of all 100 Black Men of America chapters, both nationally and internationally, is to be the premier mentoring organization in the world!  Through mentoring, tomorrow's future is secured by encouraging today's youth to be healthy, educated, and contributing members of our society.  It is vital to instill a sense of cultural pride, self-confidence, and competence into our younger generation.  In the 100 Black Men of North Metro Chapter, we provide mentoring to youth through a series of projects servicing ages 7 through 21.  Each project utilizes a life skills curriculum that promotes self-discipline and respect, educational excellence and achievement, as well as personal responsibility and career exposure.  The Men of Tomorrow and Freshman Mentoring programs are examples of the North Metro Chapter's mentoring projects. go to program page

The 100 believes that education is the key to opportunity and success.  For this reason, we promote educational excellence and are committed to the encouragement of young people to thrive in this area of their lives.  Reaching out into our communities, we provide scholarships and numerous tutoring programs while members take an active role in primary and secondary education.  Education is key to self-empowerment and self-esteem.  The "100" believes that all children can learn given the proper resources and commitment from their parents and teachers.  When children are stimulated, motivated and provided a strong support system, they can succeed.  And we know their success ultimately leads to a stronger and brighter future for our communities and our nation. go to program page

Health and Wellness is a vital component of a thriving community.  The purpose of the 100's Health & Wellness program is to raise the awareness levels concerning healthcare issues in the African American community.  To achieve such awareness, the North Metro Chapter partners with various organizations to promote a variety of health and wellness issues such as health screenings, drug and HIV/AIDS prevention, teen pregnancy prevention, Diabetes and Prostate Cancer awareness. Targeted health issues for the 100 also include physical exercise, nutrition and childhood obesity, which are all significant to the overall health and wellness of families and communities. go to program page

The North Metro 100 chapter aims to develop programs that address the economic underdevelopment of the African American community - programs designed to promote savings, home ownership and entrepreneurship.  Our goal is to instill positive economic values in young people and encourage adults to realize their full economic potential. go to program page
