Mentoring the 100 Way
Mentoring the 100 Way is one of the signature programs of the 100
Black Men of America, Inc. This holistic program addresses the
social, emotional and cultural needs of children ages 8-18.
Members of the “100” are trained and certified to become
mentors, advocates, and role models for the youth within their
communities. Through chapter operated one-on-one and group
mentoring efforts, our members forge relationships that positively
impact our greatest resource, our youth. The program focuses
on building a combination of skills including character building,
goal setting, peer to peer mentoring, conflict resolution and
leadership development. These are the essentials skills we
believe are needed to become productive, contributing citizen.
The program uses three different techniques: 1:1 Mentoring;
Group Mentoring; and Tag-Team Mentoring and focuses on being
S.M.A.R.T.
Specific: Clearly defined population
Measurable: Evaluation of effectiveness
Attainable: Setting goals that are attainable for the children and
mentors
Realistic: Goals and objectives are realistic and germane to the
population, etc.
THE COLLEGIATE 100
The Collegiate 100 is an auxiliary organization to 100 Black Men.
The Collegiate 100 membership is drawn primarily from male
African–American college students through chapters on university
campuses across American.
The purpose of the Collegiate 100 is to implement the mentoring and
tutoring programs of 100 Black Men. The participants assist
the parent organization with the development of the social,
emotional, educational, and physical needs of young black males who
have few or no positive role models in the communities in which they
live.
Each Collegiate 100 chapter has an advisor from the faculty or staff
of the college or university where I the chapter in located.
Each advisor must maintain active in the local 100 Black Men to
ensure that the program operates efficiently and effectively.
