About 100 Black Men of Knoxville, Inc.
Founded in 1994 and incorporated in 1995, 100 Black Men of Knoxville, Inc. represents a community-driven commitment to transforming the lives of young people throughout Knoxville, Tennessee. Born from the passion of local men dedicated to improving youth outcomes, this organization embodies the values and mission of the broader 100 Black Men of America movement, which has served youth since 1963. The Knoxville chapter was established by community members who recognized the critical need for mentorship, support, and empowerment in the lives of African-American young men and other youth facing barriers to success. What distinguishes 100 Black Men of Knoxville is its grassroots approach—the organization operates entirely through volunteer leadership and community support, with no paid staff, demonstrating the genuine investment of its members in local youth development. The organization's mission centers on serving as a catalyst to help African Americans reach their full potential by maximizing available resources and fostering achievement in education, community involvement, and economic empowerment. By focusing on mentoring relationships, health and wellness initiatives, educational support, and economic development opportunities, the organization creates meaningful pathways for young people in Knoxville to overcome challenges and build successful futures. The organization's sustained presence since 1995 reflects its deep roots in the Knoxville community and the ongoing commitment of its members to creating lasting change.
