Mentoring
We will intensify our efforts to provide the transformational youth Virtual Mentee curriculum “Mentoring The 100 Way Across A Lifetime” involving exposure to tools and skills that mentees can use to be productive in school and in their communities.
Connectivity
Given the abrupt transition to remote learning and telemedicine, the need for universal connectivity is no longer an option but an obligation. The 100 BMM strive to ensure that all, irrespective of income, have electronic connectivity.
Factual Communication
Given that fear and anxiety abound and often overwhelming for all, especially our children, the 100 BMM will continue to stay connected with our Community through the provision of accurate and helpful Communication.
Virtual Learning
Our Educational Coaches provide both blended and online learning opportunities to expand student access to educational resources and thus enhance the virtual teacher-student relationship to create stronger interpersonal connections.
Advocacy
Once again, those most in need are now more in need. The 100 BMM will amplify our labors to publicly support and recommend policy that supports those of our Community who are most in need, the abandoned.
