Black Men of Omaha

Our Mission & Vision

Our mission is to improve the quality of life in Omaha by helping our youth to be respectful, responsible, and ready to lead.

The 100 Black Men of Omaha, Inc. (100) was established in 1995 when a group of concerned men realized that the survival of the Omaha community rested on their willingness to join together and be a vehicle for positive change.

Today, the 100 Black Men of Omaha is one of over 100 chapters nationally and internationally that make up the 100 Black Men of America; an alliance of leading African-American men from a myriad of professions including community leaders, business executives, physicians, attorneys, entrepreneurs, elected officials, and educators volunteering their time to better the community. ”Real Men Giving Real Time.”

About 100 Black Men of America

The 100 Black Men of America, Inc. is recognized as the nation’s top African American led mentoring organization.

Not all youth are born with the same amount of access to privilege, opportunities, or positive social networks. The truth of the matter is that some are raised in environments and systems that lead them to think that they will never be able to actualize their dreams. We believe that every African American should have the support they need to create the life they have always wanted for themselves and for their families. This is what the 100 Black Men of America, Inc. provides in communities all across the nation!
