Concerned Black Men of Los Angeles

Concerned Black Men was founded in 1975 by a group of Philadelphia police officers dedicated to reducing gang violence. Through mentorship and programming, they worked to affirm young Black men, foster self-discipline, and offer support. Since then, CBM has expanded nationwide, leading to the creation of the Los Angeles chapter (CBMLA) in 2003. With a focus on small group workshops and 1:1 mentoring, Concerned Black Men of Los Angeles (CBMLA) provides young black and brown men and women with the positive role models critical for long-term success.
