Our Programs & Activities
-
Saturday Leadership Academy
Mentoring is the cornerstone of all of the 100’s programming and the foundation of our local chapter’s premier initiative, Saturday Leadership Academy (SLA). The SLA is an exciting opportunity for boys, in 8th-12th grade, to interact with caring adult mentors who are members of the Delaware chapter. The program is designed to develop youth into leaders by inspiring them to identify personal dreams and goals; build action plans toward achieving their objectives.

Education
100 Black Men of Delaware believes education is the key to opportunity, but also recognizes that significant inequities in public education still exist today. We host regular programs, such as college tours and education summits to expose our mentees to various education pathways.
-
Health
100 Black Men of Delaware focuses on the well-being of the whole person: physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual through initiatives that: 1) raise awareness of health disparities and solutions; and 2) provide access to health care and wellness information that promote behavioral changes that result in healthier lifestyles, good nutrition, regular physical activity, and full ownership of one’s health.
-
Economic Empowerment
It is the goal of The 100 to leave a legacy of wealth-building which leads to debt-free living for the youth and communities we serve. Our economic empowerment programs and initiatives foster financial literacy, career development, financial planning, investment management, and fiscal responsibility at an early age. Exposing our youth and collegiate students to the skills, strategies and mindset of entrepreneurship also provide beneficial, transferable knowledge that will help to establish a firm foundation from which they can later build upon for business development and wealth creation.
