Movement of Youth

The Movement of Youth (MOY) mentoring and education program maintains about 50 mentees annually from 7 th to 12 th grades. They are encouraged to stay in school with the aim of graduating from high school and getting a post-secondary education. Saturday Academies (twice monthly group mentoring sessions) are held at our partner school, KIPP Charlotte. Tutorial sessions in finance as well as Black History, one-on-one mentoring, the 3.0 Club, the mentor-mentee basketball game/ food drive, and scholarship aid are other elements.

The Movement of Youth Parents Association meets once monthly for informational sessions and activities in support of their children in the  Movement of Youth program.

If you wish your child to become a mentee, and he or she is no younger than 11 years old and no older than 14, send us a letter telling us about him and what you want him or her to receive from our mentoring program.  Include your contact information.  You and your child will be called in for an interview.

Scholarship Program

Establishing a scholarship program was an important goal when the Charlotte chapter was founded. The two-tiered scholarship program offers a $10,000 college scholarship to those MOY students maintaining a 3.0 GPA through high school. Assistance of $3,000 is available to those who maintain a 2.0 GPA. The Malcolm Robinson Memorial Community Service Scholarship of $500 is open to high school seniors in Charlotte. Currently 20 young men and women attend college with financial support provided by the 100. Overall scholarship awards to date are nearing $250,000.
