100 Black Men of Metro New Orleans considers the transformation of education, access to quality education for all youth regardless of race and socioeconomic status as one of the critical civil rights issues of our time. As a organization that has been mentoring African-American youth, we know how important education is to reach their full potential. Therefore, it is important that we become advocates on behalf of the youth we serve.

​

The 100 Black Men of Metro New Orleans is a valuable resource for many African-American youth, particularly, through our Four for the Future TM programmatic initiatives where we focus on Education, Mentoring, Health & Wellness and Economic Development.

The 100 Black Men of Metro New Orleans’ Education Program works with sponsors to deliver educational support services and unique learning opportunities that assist youth in achieving their educational goals. We also provide tutoring and college application assistance to young African Americans within our community.

Our youth need top-performing educators and schools that support and nurture quality-learning experiences that prepare students to meet or exceed the common core standards.

​

100 Black Men of Metro New Orleans will facilitate conversations on creating more access to high-quality education through traditional forms of education as well as high-performing charters and increased quality standards for all of our children.
