About 100 Black Men of Triangle East
Since its founding in December 1997, 100 Black Men of Triangle East has been a beacon of leadership and hope in Raleigh, NC and the surrounding communities of Wake and Durham counties. This nonprofit organization was established with a singular, powerful mission: to improve the quality of life for Black youth by creating environments where they can thrive academically, physically, and economically. What sets 100 Black Men of Triangle East apart is its deep commitment to addressing systemic inequities that disproportionately affect Black communities. The organization believes that when young Black individuals are given proper mentorship, support, and opportunities, they become successful, self-sufficient shareholders in the economic and social fabric of their communities. Through the dedication of trained mentors who volunteer their time and expertise, the organization has touched countless lives across the Triangle region. The vision extends beyond individual achievement to community transformation—fostering an environment where young African Americans are motivated, empowered, and equipped to lead. 100 Black Men of Triangle East represents more than a mentoring program; it embodies a movement of community members united in the belief that our youth deserve access to quality guidance, comprehensive support, and genuine pathways to success. By serving as role models and advocates, the organization's members demonstrate daily that invested adults can fundamentally change the trajectory of young lives and strengthen entire communities.
