TeamMates of Nebraska is a mentoring
program modeled after the original program begun by Tom and Nancy Osborne in
1991. They saw first hand the needs of
children growing up without enough adult interaction. These youth needed someone who could talk with them, help them
set goals, and reinforce basic skills, attitudes and other lessons of
life. The Osbornes' program places
emphasis on building character.
The school-based mentoring program
pairs adult volunteers one-on-one with middle school students. Adult TeamMates serve as positive role
models for students needing extra adult attention. They meet with their student TeamMates at least one hour a week
during school hours, and share in a variety of activities.
