Purpose. Brotherhood. Service. Leadership.
United AfriKan American Men, Inc. (UAAM) is a national fellowship organization founded on the principles of liberation, self-determination, academic excellence, and the upliftment of the Black community.
Established in 1993, UAAM was created to redefine the narrative surrounding Black men while cultivating leaders rooted in service, scholarship, and cultural awareness.
Through brotherhood, accountability, and purpose-driven action, UAAM prepares men to lead on campus, in their professions, and throughout society.
UAAM is committed to action, impact, and long-term community investment.
UAAM chapters lead Months of Service, community cleanups, youth mentoring, voter education efforts, and nonprofit partnerships designed to build lasting community relationships.
Chapters host food and clothing drives to support families, students, shelters, and individuals facing economic hardship.
Resume workshops, career panels, financial literacy sessions, and graduate school preparation ensure members are competitive and confident.
Through the BaM (Becoming a Man) framework, UAAM mentors young Black males, promoting leadership, self-awareness, and academic motivation.
Chapters advocate for unity and cultural awareness while addressing social, political, and economic issues impacting the Black community.
Though chapters operate independently, all UAAM chapters uphold the same standard of excellence, accountability, and purpose.
