Hillsborough County residents can receive free one-on-one financial education on basic personal finance topics from University of Florida Master Money Mentor volunteers.

Mentors can meet at a time and community location that fits an individual’s needs. Residents who meet with a mentor can receive guidance on how to develop a spending and savings plan, manage debt, build a good credit history, and grow their savings. The mentor will provide continued motivation and guidance for as long as needed to help an individual achieve their financial goals.

All guidance is unbiased and no products are endorsed or sold.

Any Hillsborough County resident who is interested in meeting with a Florida Master Money Mentor can complete this short questionnaire https://ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6qWq9iM0Ym0gYZL and you will be contacted, usually within 48 hours. For additional information email or call Lisa Leslie at lesliel@HCFLgov.net or 813-744-5519 ext. 54143.

The University of Florida Extension serves to provide the infrastructure for this program throughout the state of Florida, thanks to a gift from Bank of America. ###
