The New Standard Group

The New Standard Group is a 501c3 network of black men on a mission to unite black men for the greater good of the community. We are purposed with closing the opportunity gap for our next generation of leaders from underserved communities, through exposure, education, and empowerment.

Tampa Bay has 96,000+ Economically Disadvantage Youth

According to The Coalition of At-Risk Youth many disparities can be explained in large measure by persistent gaps in access to financial capital and what’s commonly referred to as human capital (education and experience).  

  • Only 1 in 10 youth from low-income families go on to graduate from a four-year college

  • Nearly a third of youth from low-income families (29 percent) fail to earn high school diplomas (That would be roughly 30,000 kids in Tampa Bay on the next 10 years)

Our goal is to close the opportunity gap for our next generation of leaders from underserved communities through exposure, education, and empowerment, and to create a direct pipeline for quality and skilled young adults for our local labor force.
