WELCOME

Welcome to the website of 100 Black Men of America, Inc. We are a volunteer organization committed to transforming the lives of youth and improving our communities through a unified mission. We are meeting a crucial need by impacting under-served youth in our communities by Mentoring the 100 Way Across through role models who embody our motto: “What They See Is What They’ll Be.”

  • One Mission – Solidify our common purpose and programs

  • One Cause – Deepen the impact of what we do

  • One Network: Broaden our reach to serve more

About us.

In 1986 the Alton Chapter was incorporated under the laws of the state of Illinois and in 1988 became a tax exempt non-profit 501 (C) (3) organization under the Internal Revenue Code. The 100 Black Men of Alton thus became the tenth chapter to be officially recognized by the national at an executive meeting held at the National Convention in Indianapolis in June of 1989. This enabled the Alton Chapter to articulate its concepts and contributions on a national level.

The mission of the 100 Black Men of America, Inc. is to improve the quality of life within our communities and enhance educational and economic opportunities for all African Americans.

100 Black Men of America, Inc. is committed to the intellectual development of youth and the economic empowerment of the African American community based on the following precepts: respect for family, spirituality, justice, and integrity.

100 Black Men of America, Inc. seeks to serve as a beacon of leadership by utilizing our diverse talents to create environments where our children are motivated to achieve, and to empower our people to become self-sufficient shareholders in the economic and social fabric of the communities we serve.
