Collegiate 100

The Collegiate 100 of Alabama A&M University (AAMU) was chartered March 29, 2011 with the induction of the 25 charter members. It is now a premiere AAMU campus organization executing the mission and vision of the organization. In 2012, the AAMU collegiate 100 was the “2nd Runner Up” National Chapter of the Year. The mission of the Collegiate 100 is to support the sponsoring chapters of 100 Black Men of America in their efforts to nurture and enhance the growth and development of young males. The vision is to ensure the future of 100 Black Men of America Chapters by developing a pipeline of exceptional young  African American male leaders who are responsible and who proactively serve their homes, schools and communities. 

Alabama A&M Collegiate 100 members participate in ‘Men Of Tomorrow’ sessions by providing critical mathematics training and tutoring for our youth. They also volunteer at Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary School and Westlawn Middle School as well. Each member donates a minimum of one hour weekly to serve our mentees. The Collegiate 100 mission is to impact them through our consistency, focusing on providing positive male role models and helping them to make processed decisions, causing them to think before acting. We advise them on behavior, completing work assignments and how to treat young ladies as well as future career aspirations.

These mentoring programs offer basic educational skills reinforcement, life skills, financial management, homework assistance, social, community organization and cultural enrichment, and nutrition that support young men in the 4th though 12th grades. Planned Cultural and education field trips are also part of the programs.

Through these programs one-on-one relationships, group activities, mentors and mentees become friends, advocates and role models for each child, yet the impact of the programs spread out into the families and the broader community. Mentors instill in these you men a sense of cultural pride, self confidence and competence.
