The mission of The 100 Black Men of Greater Kansas City is to improve the quality of life within our communities and enhance educational and economic opportunities for all African Americans, with emphasis on our youth.
Our programs and activities are molded in our vision of becoming the model organization for African American men for economic growth, sustaining good health, setting a positive example and mentoring youth in the community.
Our outreach initiatives and programs are based on our four pillars of commitment:
- Mentorship – To provide a means for the 100 to guide youth in life experiences that help the mentee to develop a positive self perception and self-respect, establish and pursue life-long goals, promote healthy personal relationships and encourage excellence in education
- Health and wellness- To raise awareness of health concerns affecting African-American men, their families and their communities, and to identify partnerships that will assist in reducing health disparities in the African American community
- Education - The “100″ is responsible for encouraging and facilitating the development of programmatic initiatives which address the educational needs of our youth and those of the broader community.
- Economic Empowerment- To encourage and empower the African American community to become financially literate and economically self sufficient through the development and facilitation of programmatic initiatives whcih address the educational and technical needs of our youth and those of the broader community.
