Mentoring
Mentoring the”100 Way” is designed to help boys and girls, who exhibit poor academic performance and who frequently engage in risk taking behavior. We at the “100” provide these students a positive, adult role model to assist in becoming productive citizens. Our Mentoring Programs are embedded in all of our activities. We encourage program improved academic performance, increased self-confidence, improved school behavior, and increased knowledge of career choices by providing individual and group mentoring on a regular basis.
Education
In collaboration with the Mobile County Public School System, the 100 provides Essential Skills College & Career Preparation Classes at LeFlore, Rain, Vigor and Williamson High Schools. We also provide Boat Building Leadership Class at the Pillans Washington, and Williamson Preparatory Middle Schools. The students in the Boat Leadership Program use practical math skills to build a water ready wooden boat. Prior to our current programs, the 100 Black Men of Greater Mobile operated for 13 years the Phoenix Program – An alternative program designed to provide education opportunities for students who are at-risk of dropping out of school or under long term suspension from the regular school program.

Proceeds from the race are channeled back into the community through an Urban Scholarship Program.
