Our Mission Statement

“To educate and empower the people within communities for the betterment of mankind, especially young Black men.”

The Charlotte Graduate Chapter of Groove Phi Groove Social Fellowship, Inc. is a cornerstone of leadership and community advocacy, operating with a mission to empower the Charlotte metro area through our signature “Groove Phi Groove Cares” initiative.

Our impact is reflected in a diverse portfolio of hands-on community engagement and strategic partnerships. We prioritize youth development through mentorship as coaches for the Mallard Creek Chargers and through technical programs like “Movement of Youth” in collaboration with 100 Black Men of America. Our commitment to social equity is further showcased by professional development events such as the “Suits, Shirts & Ties” initiative at Johnson C. Smith University, which provided over 40 professional ensembles to young men entering the workforce. From environmental stewardship through street clean-ups along the Corridor of Opportunity to providing critical relief through Hurricane Helene donations and Food Lion gift card giveaways in historic African-American neighborhoods, we remain a visible and transformative force. Through these efforts, alongside our annual Scholarship Program and support for organizations like Healing Vine Harbor and the Jump Start Your Heart Foundation , we continue to bridge gaps and build a stronger Charlotte.
