Team Mentoring

01

Brotherhood

A small cohort of mentors stays with the same group of young men for the full program—building the trust that real growth requires.

02

Curriculum

Structured weekly lessons across character, identity, communication, decision-making, and academic readiness.

03

Real Time

Mentors don't drop in. They show up week after week, modeling what consistent, intentional presence looks like.

About the program

The work, up close.

Team Mentoring is the cornerstone of The 100's youth development work. The program pairs Indianapolis boys with a team of mentors who walk alongside them every week for an entire school year.

Across 20 sessions, mentees work through a curriculum built on the four pillars of 100 Black Men of America—Mentoring, Education, Economic Empowerment, and Health & Wellness. The work is practical, but the goal is bigger: helping each young man learn the discipline of showing up for himself and for others.

Mentors aren't lecturing from a stage. They sit in the circle. They lead by example. And they stay long after the curriculum ends—because that's what The 100 Way means.
