Concerned Black Men, Inc. (CBM) was founded in 1975, when 5 African-American police officers organized to provide enrichment activities for Philadelphia area youth.  Today, CBM National conducts “best-practice” youth prevention programs in the Nation’s Capital.  Additionally, its 29 chapters offer a variety of projects and activities such as oratory contests, mentoring, youth conferences, college tours and other opportunities for youth throughout the country.
