Abstract | Although there is a growing body of research on the effects of peer mentoring in higher education, the individual learning of mentors themselves is largely unexplored. In this narrative inquiry study, peer mentors working with a first-year learning communities program shared and analyzed stories about their experiences. The resulting narrative data were then analyzed in an inductive-deductive and iterative process. Three themes emerged from this inquiry. First, peer mentors' stories revealed that they learned through observation and self-reflection and that this led to changes in their own practices as students. Second, mentors learned how to facilitate learning among first-year students by building community and attending to interpersonal relationships. Third, as mentors struggled to help their proteges transition into and through their first year, they discovered how personal responsibility and individual choice influence the learning process.
