• Mentoring (Brother-to-Brother) – Supporting Black men through a one-to-one mentoring relationship with members of the CBMEA such that they can achieve academic success in social work and become community leaders in similar endeavors
• Social and Emotional Health – Educating and Supporting Black men in their social and emotional health particularly living while Black in America and as they practice the social work skills of assisting marginalized others in their own social and emotional wellbeing 
• Social Media – Giving Black men a communication space through such media as a robust website featuring podcasts and blogs through which they may share social work perspectives and current events that focus on race and gender
