Mentoring

Saturday Leadership Academy

Our flagship program is the Saturday Leadership Academy (SLA). This group mentoring program works with young men 13 to 18 years old from the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. The program meets October through May on the first and third Saturday of each month. The mentees participate in a range of activities, including meeting with their 100 Black Men mentor, as well as members of our college mentoring group, the Collegiate 100.

 

The content of the Saturday Leadership Academy focuses on public speaking, presentation skills, leadership development, teamwork, financial literacy, and health & wellness. Mentees are asked to research specific topics and develop a 2-3-minute presentation to share in front of their peers and mentors. The program encourages the students to research facts, develop their own perspectives, develop well-reasoned arguments to persuade and influence others and present them with confidence.

Education

STEM The 100 Way
The STEM The 100 Way Academy was created to provide hands-on STEM programs and activities to youth traditionally underrepresented in hi-technology fields. The program has long-standing partnerships with a number of world-class STEM organizations and institutions and provides program participants exposure to cutting-edge training and technology from a variety of STEM disciplines. All components of the program are based on proven STEM methods, processes, and systems, and are conducted by 100 Black Men members that are highly qualified STEM professionals, educators, and mentors. A number of external STEM organizations provide supplemental educational opportunities to complement our work. The end goal is to prepare our mentees to successfully compete for academic scholarships, internships, and apprenticeships, and to be prepared for entrepreneurship and STEM careers in the future.

Health & Wellness

Health and Wellness is a vital component of any thriving community. As such, it is an important pillar of 100 Black Men of Greater Washington, D.C.’s programmatic offerings. The purpose of “The 100’s” Health & Wellness programs is to increase awareness of important healthcare issues affecting the African American community, in particular, African American youth.

One of our signature Health & Wellness initiatives is The Youth Movement, which targets middle school and high school students across Washington, D.C. The 6-8-week training program focuses on proper nutrition and fitness. 


The program includes pre-and-post assessments of the students on tasks like running a mile and the number of push-ups and sit-ups completed in one minute. We also track their weight, height, and blood pressure. The objectives of the program are to promote healthier lifestyles among the students and to support them in starting early to instill healthy practices that will last throughout their lives.

Economic Empowerment

Hands-On Banking

The African American History Challenge (AAHC) competition was designed to enhance the study of African American history among youth, and to increase their interest in knowing and better understanding the legacy left for them by their African American ancestors. Through the AAHC our mentees not only gain knowledge, but they change their assumptions about education, racism, slavery, equity, and opportunity in the United States.

 

Each participating 100 Black Men chapter conducts a local competition to determine a Junior and Senior Division winner. Teams are composed of two mentees, and the local winners from each chapter move on to the National Competition held each year at the 100 Black Men of America’s Annual Conference.

Pathways to Success
100 Black Men of Greater Washington, D.C., in collaboration with Wells Fargo, continues to expand its Economic Empowerment programming impact with the Pathways to Success program. The program is designed to provide and reinforce, Workforce Readiness within the 100 Black Men Chapter Network, with the end goal of creating a pipeline of our mentees who are ready for corporate careers and/or entrepreneurial endeavors.
The objectives of the Pathways to Success program are to:
  • Increase the talent development and career readiness of 100 Black Men mentees
  • Increase the business acumen and competencies of participants in preparation for entering college and the workforce
  • Expand the participants’ awareness of corporate and entrepreneurial career pathways and provide skills development training and coaching
  • Provide a relevant program for 100 Black Men mentees that also supports Wells Fargo’s commitment to outreach, education, and inclusion

Dollars & $ense

The goal of the program is to help students understand basic savings and investment principles, and to apply these standards in their day-to-day lives.
