The 100 Black Men of the Bay Area established a Health and Wellness initiative named Youth Movement in 2002. We sponsor year-round track and field clinics and track meets where participants are physically conditioned, athletically trained and benefit from team dynamics. The purpose of Youth Movement is to promote recreation and wellness under the mentorship of highly qualified coaches, world class athletes and Olympians.

Black Wings

Children in the Youth Movement program who achieve academic success and excel in track & field are invited to join the Black Wings. These athletes typically medal at the Bay Area Tommie Smith Youth Championship Track & Field Meet. These elite athletes go on to compete at national and international track & field championship meets throughout the summer. Members of the Black Wings regularly participate in cultural events, and visit colleges and universities. These elite students serve as ambassadors for the Youth Movement program.
