Mission

The mission of the 100 Black Men of Greater Cleveland, Inc. is to improve the quality of life within our communities and enhance educational and economic opportunities for all African American youth through mentoring across four pillars: economic empowerment, health and wellness, education and mentoring. The 100 engages professionals across myriad industries to mentor youth in under-served communities. Activities are conducted within the Cleveland metropolitan area and largely depend upon the program being employed. Approximately 75-80 percent of the organization's time is allocated to mentoring in some form- tutoring, holding health and wellness clinics at schools and libraries, site visits for youth, field trips to local businesses, etc. The activities are funded through corporate sponsorships, donations, and grants. Approximately 70 percent of the total budget is dedicated to programming for youth. The activity furthers our exempt purpose by educating and mentoring at-risk youth.
