Mission Statement
Mission Statement: What if young Black Men were empowered to their fullest potential?
About This Cause
In creating Word is Bond, we felt strongly about the need to center the unique experiences of young Black men. We saw the deficits; the lack of Black male mentors and decades of data pointing to the underachievement of Black men, as well as the opportunities; the rich history of Black leadership, and the power of narrative ownership to impact self-identity. Thus Word is Bond stands unapologetically in its power and mission to serve young Black men. Word is Bond engages young Black men ages 15 through 20 years old through five award-winning programs: Rising Leaders, Level Up, In My Shoes, the Spring Leadership Forum, and the Black Star Homecoming Expedition. We offer dynamic programming through our core areas of leadership development, public speaking, storytelling, professional and career development, college prep, mentorship, outdoor leadership, civic engagement, Black history and Black identity, mental health and self-care, international travel, and service to others. Our goal is to be a national leader in the development of young Black men, a thought partner and resource to the community, and a platform for young Black men everywhere to become masters of their narratives.
