The
100 Black Men of South Florida, Inc. along with
our corporate partners has successfully linked young
black males enrolled in the 100’s Leadership
Academy to the academic, cultural and professional
advantages enjoyed by others, simply by volunteering
our time to make a difference.
Through
our signature program, the Leadership Academy, we
mentor young males in the South Florida area. The
Leadership Academy’s “Young Leaders” are
involved in historic tours to develop their knowledge
of African-American history; they are equipped with
financial practices to ensure their personal success;
and they learn to embrace their leadership responsibility
to serve others in their communities. Most
importantly, they are matched with a member of the
100 for years of one-on-one mentoring and a lifetime
of fun.
Our
mentoring program is just one component of our “4
for the Future Initiative” which directs our
programming. We also provide Economic Development,
Health & Wellness and Educational programs to
the “Young Leaders” and the community
at-large. Since our formation in 1989, we have served
thousands of families through health fairs, Thanksgiving
food drives, Christmas shopping sprees, and other
programs.
Our
success has been the direct result of the committed
volunteers and corporate partners who have invested
their time and resources to impact young black males
and their families as well as the local community.
I
am honored to have this opportunity to lead this
organization that is working to be a part of the
solution.
Our
website highlights some of the activities of our
organization, including our Christmas
Shopping Spree,
Thanksgiving Food drive, Signature Weekend, national
convention and the Leadership
Academy.
We appreciate your interest in our organization
and we welcome your support.
