| Summary: | Many studies have explored mentoring in higher education (Black & Taylor, 2017; Nuis et al., 2023); no studies have explored how college student peer financial mentors conceptualize their work and reflect upon financial peer mentorship in postsecondary settings. As a result, we sampled from institutions over a three-year span (2020-2023), resulting in 22 focus groups held with 54 peer financial wellness mentors across seven institutions of higher education to explore college students’ experiences providing peer financial mentoring. Findings suggest soft skills, especially listening, is critical for financial mentors, in addition to knowledge of community financial resources. Implications for practice are addressed. |
