100 Black Men of Metropolitan Houston
About 100 Black Men of Metropolitan Houston
Rooted in the principles of respect for family, spirituality, justice, and integrity, 100 Black Men of Metropolitan Houston serves as a beacon of leadership committed to improving the quality of life for African American communities. Since its establishment, the organization has built a powerful network of dedicated men and women of character working daily to transform the lives of underrepresented and disenfranchised youth throughout Houston, TX and the surrounding metropolitan area. The organization's mission extends beyond individual mentorship to economic and social empowerment, seeking to make mentees and community members shareholders in the economic and social fabric of their communities. With over 105 chapters nationally and more than 10,000 members as part of 100 Black Men of America, the Houston chapter represents a legacy of community-driven action and dedication. The organization's accomplishments reflect deep community investment: partnering with the LeBron James Foundation to support families affected by Hurricane Katrina, earning Texas Southern University the 2018 National Collegiate 100 Chapter of the Year award, and consistently providing youth with the support, guidance, and resources needed to succeed academically, professionally, and personally. By focusing on the unique social, cultural, and emotional needs of young Black men, 100 Black Men of Metropolitan Houston demonstrates that what young people see in their mentors is what they will become.
