To realize this mission, our chapter focuses time, talent, and finances on:- Education - Economic Development - Youth Development - Fund Raising - Public Relations - Social Activities - Health and Wellness - Scholarship - Mentorship
Our Vision We aspire to be the State’s leading organization engaged in shaping the future of the State, and the productive capacity of the African American youth.
General Statement There are many social challenges that face youth today, especially African American youth, and there is a definite need to provide them with a sense of direction for themselves and their communities. While schools provide a framework for learning, innovative ways must be found to motivate and develop the abilities and skills of students and to encourage the use of their maximum potential beyond academic areas. There has been a considerable decrease in positive actions and attitudes displayed by youth. Disturbingly, many youth neglect to do things, which would improve their personal lives, as well as their environment. The proliferations of drugs, violence, poverty and single parent household have greatly influenced the development of youth. The 100 Black Men of Maryland, Inc. has identified mentoring as one of our major programmatic thrust. This is evident by the fact that mentoring is a consistent thread in all of our programs. Understanding that it sometimes takes a more than just a village to raise a child, especially an African American male, 100 Black Men of Maryland, Inc. is prepared, with your help, to continue its efforts to provide young Black men with more than just an outside chance to have successful lives. Can we do it? We say yes. But then we have a vision. |
