PROGRAMS

The 100 Black Men of Jacksonville carries out its mission with focus and energy driven by the phenomenal level of member participation and community involvement in the organization’s activities and events. This is further fueled by the success of our young Black males. Although each year is filled with different activities and events earmarked to meet the year’s key goals, the following are some of the ongoing and continuing programs.

Mentoring

All activities of the 100 Black Men of Jacksonville (J100) have mentoring components, and selected members are assigned a Mentee. However, specific program activities have been designed to involve a larger number of youth.
