  3. Practicing interview techniques with human resource experts
  4. Understanding the Dos and Don’ts on social media
  5. Financial Literacy

100 Black Men of Austin, Foster Love, and Toyota North Austin Partner to Provide Foster Youth a Shopping Spree for the Holidays

The 100 Black Men of Austin and Foster Love had the opportunity to bless 64 foster kids with a shopping spree at H&M for the holidays. 100 BMOA members, Steve Riddick at Toyota North Austin, Huston-Tillotson Collegiate, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, and other volunteers provided support by helping the youth shop throughout the store. They were able to pick what they wanted, as long as they stayed within their allotted budget. Of course there was a twist in the fact H&M supported by providing discounts to enhance their shopping experience! Let’s just say we had an awesome time giving back to those who need it most!


Thank you Foster Love and H&M for always supporting the foster youth in Austin, TX and the 100 Black Men of Austin. This is more than a partnership!
