Day one brought the energy—and we’re just getting started. 🔥

On August 29, students, families, and mentors gathered at UNCW’s Veterans Hall for Saturday Success Academy Orientation Day. Young people found their voices. Parents and guardians asked real questions. Mentors laid the foundation for a year built on education, confidence, leadership, and purpose.

If your family missed orientation, don’t count yourself out. It is not too late to connect. Success does not require a perfect start—just the courage to take the next step.

The door is still open. Let’s build this year together.

What a way to start! 🖤💛

There was real energy in Veterans Hall on the campus of UNCW today as we welcomed families for Saturday Success Academy Orientation!

A huge thank you to every parent and guardian who came out, asked questions, showed support, and trusted us to walk alongside your young people. That support matters. Mentoring works best when families, students, mentors, and community all pull in the same direction.

And we are starting strong. Nearly 35 students are stepping into this journey with us, ready to learn, grow, lead, and build relationships that can last far beyond a Saturday morning.

This is what community looks like.
This is what investment in our young people looks like.
And we’re just getting started.

Saturday Success Academy 2026–2027… LET’S DO THIS! 🔥

WHERE WAS THE 100 TODAY? 👀🖤💛

While some folks were still finding the coffee pot, our Chapter President Kevin Briggs was already at Forest Hills Elementary School in Wilmington, clapping, smiling, and helping welcome students back for their first day of school. 👏🏾📚

That is what showing up looks like.

Not just meetings.
Not just talk.
Not just a logo on a shirt.

Presence. Encouragement. Community.

Our young people need to see men who believe in them, support them, and make time for them. Sometimes the message is delivered from a stage. Sometimes it comes from the sidewalk with a smile, a high five, and a whole lot of clapping.

Because What They See Is What They’ll Be®

Great job, President Briggs, representing the 100 Black Men of Coastal North Carolina and reminding our students that their community is cheering for them.

So… where will the 100 show up next? 👀

Today was about more than the first day of school. It was about showing our young people that their community is standing with them. 👏🏾📚

The 100 Black Men of Coastal North Carolina was proud to welcome and encourage the students of Sunset Park Elementary School in Wilmington as they began a brand-new school year.

Sometimes community service looks like mentoring. Sometimes it looks like opening doors. And sometimes it looks like simply showing up, lining the walkway, clapping, smiling, and reminding a child, “We see you. We believe in you. Keep going.”

Because what our children see matters.

What They See Is What They’ll Be®

We’ll be cheering these students on all year long as they learn, grow, dream bigger, and discover what is possible.

A huge thank you to every community member who came out today to clap for our students and help make their first day special. This is how we build stronger communities: together.

During National Immunization Awareness Month, we encourage individuals and families to stay informed about recommended vaccinations and to have conversations with trusted healthcare providers about protecting their health at every stage of life.

Prevention plays an important role in building stronger families, healthier communities, and brighter futures. By making informed health decisions, we can help reduce the spread of preventable diseases and support the well-being of those around us.

Learn more, ask questions, and make the choice that's right for you and your family.
