Abstract

The primary purpose of this qualitative review was to examine the benefits of the Sigma Beta Club mentoring program on the educational experiences of African American male participants and to explore the perceptions and challenges mentors incurred while working with young men of color in the Sigma Beta Club mentoring program. The secondary purpose was to provide understanding regarding the utilization of SCT by the Sigma Beta Club mentoring program. The effects of systemic racism and discrimination have resulted in African American young men developing a distrust for lawmakers and their agents. A reconnection and an establishment of trust needs to take place.
