Youth Mentoring:
Four for the Future
Our youth mentoring programs serve girls and boys in grades 6–12 across Brunswick, New Hanover and Pender counties. We are Black men who show up, from the first meeting to college acceptance. Four for the Future is the national framework every chapter works from.
Mentoring
School-based mentoring through six school partnerships across three counties, plus Success Academy for grades 8 through 12. Members give up to four hours a month.
Education
Success Academy runs August to June. SAT prep, creative writing, college visits. Scholarships from $1,000 to $2,500 for graduates headed to four-year institutions.
Economic Empowerment
Financial literacy taught directly, and roundtables where students hear from local leaders who built something.
Health and Wellness
An annual summit open to the community. In 2025 it drew 108 people, 25 screenings and more than 70 blood pressure checks.
