The Collegiate 100® (“C100”) has an important role to play on the college campus. The effective execution of that role requires that the Chapter be a responsible, productive, and cooperative segment of 100 Black Men of America, Inc. and the total college community. Membership into the Collegiate 100® is drawn primarily from African–American male and female college students through Chapters on university campuses across America. The primary purpose of the Collegiate 100® program is to provide an avenue for 100 Black Men of America, Inc. chapters to continue their one-on-one and group mentoring to students as they matriculate from high school to college; thereby supporting the Mentoring The 100 Way Across a Lifetime initiatives.
