About 100 Black Men of Metropolitan Houston

100 Black Men of Metropolitan Houston delivers comprehensive mentorship and community service programs designed to enhance educational and economic opportunities for African American boys and young men in grades 6-12. Operating as part of the largest network of African American male mentors in the nation, the organization provides evidence-based programming across four key service areas: mentoring, education, health and wellness, and economic empowerment. Through signature programs including Four For The Future and Project Tux, the organization connects young men with prominent community members who serve as positive role models and provide guidance in education, career development, and personal growth. Based in Houston, TX, the organization has demonstrated measurable impact, awarding over $300,000 in college scholarships to promising first and second-year college students and hosting annual food and toy drives benefiting thousands of children since 1996. The organization's mentoring platform, "The 100 Way Across A Lifetime," integrates leadership development and strategic partnerships with organizations like the University of Houston to reach inner city schools and churches throughout the Greater Houston area. Additionally, 100 Black Men of Metropolitan Houston maintains the Collegiate 100 extension, ensuring continuity of mentorship from high school through college. Recent grants from Minute Maid ($100,000 in 2020) and Gilead Sciences (nearly $500,000 in 2021) have enabled expansion of local programming and services.
