This qualitative case study explored self-efficacy and sense of belonging among African American males who participated in Men of Vision and their perception of community college. Ten students of the community college participated in the study through individual, in-depth interviews with the participants addressing three primary research questions: (1) How did being a member of an organization change your perception of higher education, specifically community colleges? (2) How did Men of Vision help you gain a sense of belonging on a college campus? (3) What did you learn about yourself while being a member of Men of Vision? The focus was on a particular African American male group known as Men of Vision (MOV). A comparison of the participants' college experiences was also compared to the researcher's college experience through analysis of the data. And, insight was provided into the various social and academic factors impacting the former community college participants.
