About 100 Black Men of South Florida, Inc.

Founded on June 24, 1989, the 100 Black Men of South Florida, Inc. (the “100”), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, is a group of men in business, industry, public affairs, government and the professions who share a common goal of improving the quality of life for African-Americans and other minorities through mentorship. The founding members of the 100 believed that they needed to take a leadership role in combating the plagues of illiteracy, professional stagnation, and political and economic disenfranchisement in our community. The 100 was formed to provide its members with a vehicle through which the requisite action could be taken to improve conditions within our community.

With a mission to improve the quality of life of our citizens and enhance educational opportunities for African- Americans, our members continue to serve as a strong force for overcoming cultural and financial obstacles, the achievements of African-American youth, emphasizing young African-American males.

As a part of the 100 Black Men of America’s “Four For The Future Initiative” Economic Development, Education, Health & Wellness and Mentoring, the South Florida Chapter is engaged in a targeted effort to provide holistic support for youth we serve.

The 100 Black Men of South Florida, Inc. is committed to the intellectual development of youth and the economic empowerment of the African-American community based upon the following precepts: Respect for Family, Spirituality, Justice and Integrity.

The 100 Black Men of South Florida, Inc. seeks to serve as a beacon of leadership by utilizing our diverse talents to create an environment 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.
