Concerned Black Men, Richmond attends the 29th Annual 2nd Street Festival 2017

October 23, 2017

The Concerned Black Men, Richmond Chapter, attended the 29^th Annual 2^nd Street Festival held on October 7-8, 2017  in the Historic Jackson Ward Community.  This festival celebrates the rich history and culture of Jackson Ward and it is a veritable Who’s Who in  Art’s,  Politics, and  Social entities throughout central Virginia. We welcomed the opportunity to inform the local community about our mentoring program for our youth.   The interaction with many city and state officials such as Chief Alfred Durham, Senator Jennifer McClellan, Delegate Delores McQuinn, among many others that are campaigning for state offices was  great exposure for our chapter.  There was also a strong interest in mentoring shown by many as well as parents wanting mentoring for their children.

The 2^nd Street Festival has provided The Concerned Black Men of Richmond with excellent exposure for a number of years and we hope the relationship will continue for years to come.

Dear Fellow Sponsors and Supporters of CBM:

We are excited to begin our new session for 2017-2018 and would like to thank each person who contributed to the success of our program.

This past summer, three of our youth, graduated from high school and elected to go on to college!  We are excited and proud of the choices they have made to pursue higher education.  

CBM actually had the privilege of mentoring two of these young men since the 5th grade and we are delighted that we were able to help stimulate them culturally, academically, and socially.

Ramone Jeffers graduated from Garner Magnet High School in Raleigh, NC. He is attending North Carolina Central University majoring in Sports Medicine.

Torian Jones graduated from Richmond Community High School. He is attending Old Dominion University majoring in English.

Timothy Banks graduated from Franklin Military Academy.  He is attending Virginia State University majoring in Mass Communication.

 

All of these young men exemplify what we are trying to accomplish with our programs.  Thank you all for your contributions through participation and or monetary donations.  We hope that The Concerned Black Men of Richmond can count on each of you for continued support.  You are providing an invaluable service to the community and the world.

 

Sincerely,

Tim Mallory
CBMRVA President

Concerned Black Men of Richmond Holds Outing with Youth at Maymont Park

On Saturday, March 25th,  the Concerned Black Men of Richmond had an outing. We focused on problem solving, code of conduct and visited the Maymont Park Nature Center in Richmond. Due to an unforeseen problem, we had to change our event from taking a behind the scenes look at the music recording business.

There were 13 youth corps participants and 3 mentors attending. We spent an hour at Linwood Holton Elementary going over the CBM Code of Conduct and had a discussion on problem solving. The youth were presented with several situations and discussed several ways to solving the problem.

We left the school and visited the Maymont Nature Center. It was good to get them outside and discussing what they knew about the animals they encountered.

 

They really enjoyed being outside and seeing all the different types of animals up close.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many had never seen these types of animals before.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Afterwards, we visited Pizza Hut. It turned out be a great outing!
