EDUCATION

Education is the key to opportunity and is embedded in the mission of our organization. The 100 has been mentoring African American youth for more than 50 years and as an extension of the national organization, our local chapter knows the importance of education to one’s life trajectory and the ability to achieve dreams.

We consider the transformation of education as one of the critical civil rights issues of our time. We staunchly believe that all youth, regardless of race and socio-economic status, must have access to quality education to become ready to compete in a global society which is becoming better educated through the expansion of knowledge via the internet. Knowledge is power and if you have access to it and can properly apply it, any dream can become a reality.

The 100 Black Men of Silicon Valley, Inc. seeks to serve as a beacon of leadership by utilizing our diverse talents to create environments where our children are motivated to achieve, and to empower our people to become self-sufficient shareholders in the economic and social fabric of the communities we serve.
