Mission
The mission of the 100 Black Men of the Bay Area is to improve the quality of life within the Bay Area community and to enhance educational and economic opportunities for disadvantaged, disenfranchised and low- income youth and families. We are committed to helping those in our community make wiser health, lifestyle and economic decisions, and helping our youth create and accomplish educational goals that will lead to family-sustaining wages and long-term career and life success. Our motto, “What They See Is What They’ll Be” refers to a “lead by example” approach that resonates with our youth who often lack the exposure or positive behavior modeling from caring and successful African American men.

Many of our African American students are consistently under-performing, under-achieving, and losing access to rigorous education. In addition, children in underserved communities often lack exposure to positive-behavior models, especially African American males, to influence and positively impact their life outcomes and expectancy. The prospect of a healthful lifestyle is further negated by a lack of participation in regular physical activity and residing in food deserts with limited access to nutritional food options.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
100 Black Men of the Bay Area, Inc. aims to address the unique social, cultural, and emotional needs of youth, primarily African American males, by cultivating environments where disenfranchised children are motivated to achieve and are empowered to become self-sufficient shareholders in the economic and social fabric of the communities in which they reside. We are committed to helping those in our community make wiser health, lifestyle and economic decisions, and helping our youth create and accomplish educational goals that will lead to family-sustaining wages and long-term career and life success.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
100 Black Men of the Bay Area, Inc. has forged partnerships and developed highly structured programs that aim to raise awareness, provide access to health-inducing and career-guiding information that will ultimately promote behavior change resulting in a prolific lifestyle.
Our mentoring program is highly structured and focuses on fostering trusting relationships between successful African American (AA) men and the youth in the community. We offer daily guidance sessions, weekly study halls, and tutoring in math, science, English, and history, as well as weekly Saturday sessions, six field trips, and two large family events that serve three middle schools and four high schools in Oakland plus one college in Berkeley.
Working with corporate partners, we are able to secure apprenticeships and Summer internships that lead to career exploration and life-sustaining employment.
100 Black Men of the Bay Area awards over $50,000 in scholarships each year to Bay Area students attending preparatory high school and college to help ease the financial burden of tuition.
Our Health & Wellness Initiative Youth Movement Program consists of three components: (1) a school-based program to assess health and fitness of students in four Bay Area school districts which includes baseline and benchmark fitness tests known as Fitnessgram; (2) athletic training and nutritional education through student participation in local track and field clubs for Bay Area youth throughout the year that cumulates with an Annual Tommie Smith Youth Initiative Track Meet where over 1,000 youth between the ages of 5 and 17 participate. In addition, by creating urban gardens, our students have the opportunity to prep, plan, plant, maintain and harvest vegetables and fruits that they can bring home to their families and serve to fellow students in the after-school program.
Our 100 Cares Initiative was launched to mitigate the negative effects of being poor or unhoused in the Bay Area. School supplies and meals are dispersed annually plus healthcare packages including face masks, rubber gloves, toiletry items, cleaning products, portable toilets, and wash stations are delivered in time of need to help stop the spread of infectious disease within encampments.
100 Black Men of the Bay Area hosts three forums annually where non-traditionally trained engineers have the opportunity to engage with hiring professionals and diversity advocates to discuss career options at leading bay area tech companies. This provides a platform for non-techs or self-taught coders to learn about opportunities and classes to bolster their current aptitude to maximize their personal success in the tech industry.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
The members of 100 Black Men of the Bay Area, Inc. donate over 8,900 volunteer hours and $96,000 in member dues annually toward our mission. We also host an Annual Scholarship Benefit and Awards Gala. In addition, we have forged partnerships that further help us to accomplish our goals:
OK Program - Signed MOU of a joint venture (JV) partnership that outlines responsibilities. 100BMBA provides mentoring resources and funding to the OK program while the OK Program provides facilities and overall program administration support.
Oakland Unified School District’s African American Male Achievement (AAMA) Program - 100BMBA provides mentoring resources and funding for enrichment outings plus refreshments while AAMA provides the facilities and transportation.
Aspire & Achieve Tutoring Program - 100BMBA provides program structure, recruitment, and tutoring facilitation while Aspire & Achieve (Lakeshore Ave Baptist Church) provides tutors.
UC Berkeley - UC Berkeley provides facilities for our Health & Wellness programs, college tours, and career exploration workshops while 100BMBA provides mentoring, coaching, sponsorships, and joint development of career workshops for the Collegiate 100 Chapter.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Nov 01 - Oct 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
