About Us
The 100 Black Men of Phoenix (“The 100”) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization created in 1988 that is comprised of professional African American men. The 100 is dedicated to improving the quality of life of African Americans within the Phoenix, AZ metro area by enhancing educational and economic opportunities for all. We take an active leadership role in helping minority youth become contributing, competitive and valued members of society. Currently, with a “lead by example” approach, we mentor over 100 youth monthly and have ongoing partnerships with various community organizations.
Mentoring BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and female youth in the Phoenix metropolitan area is an essential and empowering endeavor. By providing guidance, support, and opportunities, we aim to uplift and amplify the voices of these marginalized communities. Our mentoring program fosters an inclusive and safe space where young individuals can develop their unique talents, cultivate leadership skills, and explore their full potential. Through meaningful connections with experienced mentors from diverse backgrounds, participants gain access to valuable insights, resources, and networks. Together, we strive to break down barriers and promote a more equitable and diverse society, one where every young person can thrive and contribute to building a brighter future for Phoenix and beyond.
