100 Black Men of Coastal NC

100 Black Men of Coastal NC It is a group of African-American men dedicated to improving the quality of life for African-Americans in southeastern North Carolina. Twitter:

With more than 110 chapters in the United States and abroad, 100 Black Men of America impacts more than 125,000 youth. The 100 Black Men of Coastal North Carolina, Inc. is a 501 c (3) non-profit organization. The 100 Black Men of America, our parent organization, began in New York in 1963. These men envisioned an organization that would improve the quality of life for the nationโ€™s African-American

s and other minorities. Mission Statement

As black men, we know how important it is for mentors to point the way to success in the lives of children. This is why we put so much emphasis on helping youth, especially Black males, make decisions that will lead to success and provide opportunities, like college exploration trips, that may expose them to lifestyles they may not know. Programs

As a chapter of the 100 Black Men of America, we host programs in some New Hanover and Brunswick county middle schools and host a high school program at Cape Fear Community College.

The room did more than raise scholarship dollars.

On April 25, 2026, the 100 Black Men of Coastal North Carolina paused during our Annual Scholarship Fundraiser Breakfast to honor a few of the mentors and parent contributors who keep showing up, pouring in, and helping our mentees see what is possible.

Because impact is not built by applause.

It is built by people who stay involved.
Who give their time.
Who open doors.
Who remind our young people that they are seen, valued, and worth the investment.

Mentoring the 100 Wayยฎ is more than a phrase. It is the work.

That matters.

Because this challenge is bigger than competition. It is about knowing the story, carrying the legacy, and standing tall in the truth of who we are.

The African American History Challenge was launched in 1995 under the leadership of the late ๐๐ซ๐š๐œ๐ž ๐. ๐†๐จ๐๐Ÿ๐ซ๐ž๐ฒ, ๐‰๐ซ., founding president of the 100 Black Men of Metro Baton Rouge and a former national board member. He believed Black history should be studied, known, and carried forward by the next generation. That vision still speaks. Loudly.

These young ladies are stepping onto a national stage with brilliance, poise, and purpose. They are not just representing our chapter. They are representing our community, our history, and the power of preparation.

Letโ€™s celebrate them now and cheer them on all the way to June.

What happens when a community invests in its young people?

Mentorship happens. Leadership grows. Doors open.

When you give to 100 Black Men of Coastal North Carolina, you are helping us do the real work: mentoring youth, supporting education, building leadership, and creating stronger communities. That mission sits at the heart of the 100, alongside a vision of helping young people achieve career and life success through strong role models, community connection, and long-term sustainability.

This is bigger than a donation.
It is an investment in exposure.
An investment in confidence.
An investment in what is possible.

Because when our young people can see excellence, guidance, and opportunity up close, they can start to believe it belongs to them too. That is the work. That is the promise. โ€œWhat They See Is What Theyโ€™ll Beยฎ.โ€

Join us in building the next generation.
Give. Share. Stand with us.
