We pledge to love, teach, respect and help our youth, and to leave a legacy that establishes a foundation which encourages young people to realize their true potential as future leaders.

Concerned Black Men works to create an America where:
• Every child has in his or her life a responsible caring adult;
• After-school and summer enrichment programs are available to all young people, not just for children of the wealthy;
• Youths are empowered to change their lives by receiving appropriate and accurate information on health, social and community issues;
• Quality public education is our Nation’s highest priority;
• Teenage parents are the exception, not the norm.
