Community Outreach:
Concerned Black Men, Inc.

The pro-active officers sought to not only recognize the positive, productive and creative endeavors of the youth, but also to organize programs highlighting their talents and enhancing both their self esteem and education.

CBM provides mentoring, tutoring and prevention programs to African American children from disadvantaged communities. Through the work of a nationwide network of African American volunteers located in cities throughout the country, and an experienced and credentialed staff located in Washington, DC, CBM conducts programs that offer African American men as positive role models to children and youth

As the need for Concerned Black Men, Inc's services increased over the years, so did the diversity and number of its membership. What was once an organization composed of only five police officers has grown to over five hundred strong nationally, representing African American men in diverse fields and from all walks of life.

The concept of CBM and its steady growth required a continuity and coordination of its intents and so on October 5, 1989 the National Organization of CBM was born.
