About CBM CARES® National Mentoring Initiative

The CBM CARES® National Mentoring Initiative is a program that provides middle school boys with responsible and caring adult male mentors. Citing statistics that assert that more than 60% of black children are growing up in father absent households with a similar amount dropping out of high school, coupled with the fact that a high percentage of those high school drop-outs are black boys, Concerned Black Men believes that involving African American men to mentor young males of color is an imperative. The CBM CARES® National Mentoring Initiative is part of a comprehensive outreach project designed to improve academic and life outcomes for youths residing in underserved communities nationwide.
