Education Initiative
Education Is the Key to Opportunity
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 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 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 be ready to compete in a global society.
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 seeks to serve as a beacon of leadership — creating environments where children are motivated to achieve."
