In January of 1993, a group of black men in Orange County recognized there was a need for the underserved black male youth in the county. Recognizing that the 100 Black Men of America was one of the most influential organizations in the country, these men came together and applied to be part of that organization, having formed an Orange County chapter also known as 100 Black Men of Orange County. In that same year, 100BMOC became incorporated as a certified 501(c)3 non-profit organization, being led by our very first chapter President, Mr. Eugene Wheeler.
Today, the 100 BMOC is comprised of more than 35 members who are committed in the areas of education, mentoring, economic development, empowerment, health and wellness, and more.
The 100 BMOC strive to empower the African American community by providing focused, effective, and participatory leadership that improves public policy and enhances the overall education, quality of life, social and economic status of underrepresented groups in our communities. It is an organization committed to developing and strengthening a partnership among home, school, and community of young African American males with the objective of ensuring that each element of the partnership work together in the best interest of all African American males and their families.
Moreover, the 100BMOC firmly believes that a strengthened partnership among home, school, and community will result in an enriched Orange County. The chapter focuses on four initiatives, which include Education, Mentoring, Health and Wellness and Economic Empowerment. Our signature program, “Passport to the Future” is based on an educational and cultural foundation where core areas of mastery are combined with group mentoring experiences to form our intervention with male youth grades 6-12.
