Black Men’s Xchange (BMX) presents the Advancing Diverse Young Black Male Lives (ADYBML) program, a workforce, leadership, and health development initiative serving Black males ages 18 to 35 living with or impacted by HIV. The program has reached over 140 participants and provides culturally grounded mentorship, workforce readiness, and trauma-informed wellness.

ADYBML fills a critical gap for young Black men who face both racial and sexual marginalization. Participants gain professional and life skills, HIV literacy, financial knowledge, and leadership experience while building confidence and purpose. Through peer mentoring, workshops, digital engagement, and a tiered rewards system, the program fosters empowerment, self-determination, and community connection.

By integrating healing, skill-building, and advocacy, ADYBML equips young Black men to achieve personal growth, employment success, and health resilience—strengthening both individual lives and the broader Baltimore community.
