Mentoring Programs

The mission of the 100 Black Men of Southwest Florida, Inc., a nonprofit IRS 501(c)3 organization is to empower at-risk youth in our community to make positive life choices that enable them to maximize their personal potential.

Through collaborative programming with schools and other community-based organizations, we provide educational, social, and mentoring opportunities to enhance the academic performance, community connections, and career options of the youth.

The Program Coordinator oversees the development and implementation of the youth mentoring Program, which matches adult volunteer mentors with youth in a one-to-one relationship. The Program Coordinator ensures program quality and performance related to recruiting, screening, matching, monitoring, and closing the relationship with the mentor and child, and communicates with the mentor, parent/guardian, and child throughout the relationship.
