The 100 Black Men of Greater Warner Robins, Georgia CareerFest123 Project applies a hybrid Team Mentoring Program, which follows a afterschool-mentoring program model that strives to:

​

• Inspire and motivate students to do well in school

• Expose students to various college and career options

• Encourage students towards healthy and positive lives

• Help students to create viable life plans and make good decisions

 

Mentors stress the importance of (S.T.E.M.) Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. We also collaborate with Regional GEAR-UP students, by talking to students about their jobs. The specific preparation is necessary for their jobs, whether college or other training was required to take that job, and most importantly, what students need to do in school to prepare for a successful life in the world of work. Additionally, mentors offer students advice on making good decisions about basic life choices.

​

We at The 100 Black Men of Greater Warner Robins, Georgia do all the work and scheduling; schools just give us a date and assign a contact person.

"What they see is what they'll be"

 

Desire to pursue higher education should not be extinguished due to lack of either funding or the college preparation that makes students better candidates for college acceptance. The 100 Black Men of Greater Warner Robins, Georgia, has invested considerable effort towards closing the achievement gap in academics between African American youth and their peers in other ethnic groups.

​

Our College and Career Pathways123 Initiative addresses the quality and quantity of information, resources, and tools available to youth. We have provided free access, to local and regional college campuses, and provided workshops on preparing for and funding a college education.

 

In addition, we host a workshop-driven College/Career Pathways123 Event targeting African American and Latino students in the Heart of Georgia, drawing busloads of students from several key Central Georgia Counties as far as Dooley, Telfair, Jasper, Taylor, and Chatham Counties. Additionally, we collaborate with the leading Technical Colleges, Universities, and Fortune 1000 Companies in the State of Georgia which helps provide youth opportunities and service.

Economic Empowerment

 

The 100 defines economic empowerment as the ability to be self-determined in creating dreams, pursuing them, and ultimately perpetuating them by establishing the mechanisms to sustain generational wealth. Program initiatives promote generationally economic self-sufficiency through financial literacy, family wealth building, and entrepreneurship.
