Org Overview

The Collegiate 100® (“C100”) has an important role to play on the college campus.

Membership into the Collegiate 100® is drawn primarily from African–American male and female college students through Chapters on university campuses across America.   The primary purpose of the Collegiate 100® program is to provide an avenue for 100 Black Men of America, Inc. 

Chapters to continue their one-on-one and group mentoring to students as they matriculate from high school to college, thereby supporting the Mentoring The 100 Way Across Lifetime initiatives.  Members of the Collegiate 100® will assist the local 100 Black Men Chapter (Sponsoring Chapter) with its programmatic initiatives that support the development of social, emotional, educational, and physical needs of youth who have few or no positive role models in the communities in which they live. To promote college success that leads to an increase in the graduation rates of African American college students, especially males.

 The Collegiate 100®, therefore, is not fraternal in nature and does not include the process of pledging or hazing to gain affiliation or membership.  Rather, the Collegiate 100® adds value by serving as a core of service volunteers to help carry out the mission of the 100 Black Men of America, Inc. and support the activities of the Sponsoring Chapter.

It is expected that those chosen as members of the Collegiate 100® will gain a greater appreciation for the mission and goals of the 100 Black Men of America, Inc.
