College
Degrees are more important than ever. It’s estimated that by 2020, 65% of job
offerings will require a college degree. The 100 Black Men of
Metropolitan Houston, Inc. will lead forty-eight young men on a
chartered bus college tour around southern states. We will enjoy stops at the
alma maters of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Booker T. Washington, Bullet
Bob Hayes, and Coach Eddie Robinson. We will also experience historical sites
such as Ebenezer Baptist Church and the Edmund Pettus Bridge along the way.
The
target demographics are our mentees and other high school aged young men
across metropolitan Houston. Our goal is to introduce our students to college
life first-hand and increase their interests in continuing their education
beyond high school. During this week long trip, chaperones will lead study
groups on different topics such as financial literacy, entrepreneurship,
philanthropy, race relations and relationships. We will have a book club
style discussion and journal style reflections along the way. Mentees will be
responsible for $100 tuition and some of their meals. The 100 will subsidize
the cost of transportation, lodging, activities, and most meals.
Education
attainment is more important to our economic success than ever before.
Allowing our students to visit campuses, interact with current students, and
realize that a bright academic future is within their reach is our primary
goal. We want to create a strong college-going culture for our young men.
Itinerary includes (subject to change):
Alabama State University , Alcorn State
University, Clark-Atlanta University, Florida A&M University,
Jackson State University, Morehouse College, Southern
University, Tuskegee University, and Xavier University.
