A Collaboration Focused on Community Health and Building Thriving Neighborhoods in East Akron
At EANDC, we actively support the Akron communities we serve by providing housing and expanding access to resources that strengthen their future. We are proud to continue our partnership with the Minority Behavioral Health Group and “The 100 Men.” Through this partnership, we provide space in our gymnasium for training for young men starting at age 18. Together, we are building thriving neighborhoods.
The 100 Men operates as a program of the Minority Behavioral Health Group. The program trains young men in nonviolent conflict resolution and provides mental health support. The Minority Behavioral Health Group developed the 100 Men program to promote community empowerment, positive role modeling, and job placement throughout the Akron area. The program focuses on three core areas: mental health, rites of passage that reinforce community stability, and job placement.

The Minority Behavioral Health Group is a community mental health agency made up of psychologists, counselors, pastors, case managers, and administrative staff who deliver culturally appropriate and comprehensive behavioral health services across Summit, Portage, Stark, Franklin, and Cuyahoga counties. The organization also serves as a vital resource for minority communities by offering counseling, education, outreach, and consultation services.
