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 for all young people, not just for children and the wealthy;
• Youth 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 and not the norm.
