The Coalition of 100 Black Women is a non-profit, tax exempt volunteer organization of some 700 Black professional women.  Committed to change through the economic development and political empowerment for contemporary Black women, the Coalition conducts a number of programs, especially focussing on role modeling for youth through a summer internship program, a college career guidance experience and a newly-formed role modeling program for teen mothers which will match teen mothers with Black professional women.
 
In addition, last year the Coalition registered 3,000 voters in an intensive voter registration drive. It also works with the Greater Harlem Nursing Home and, through its committees, reaches into the arts, communications, international affairs and a number of other areas.
