TEAMMATES

February 2020

The TeamMates Mentoring Program was started by Tom and Nancy Osborne in 1991 with the vision to help middle school students succeed. At the time, Coach Osborne had 22 of his UN-L football players meet with students of Lincoln Public Schools. Twenty-one of those students went on to graduate high school and eighteen of them obtained some form of post-secondary education.  Since then, TeamMates has grown to include over 160 different chapters serving more than 9,400 students throughout Nebraska, Wyoming, Iowa and Kansas.

Tri County Public Schools is in its second full school year with an official TeamMates Mentoring Chapter. At the end of January, 35 mentors were matched with mentees in grades 3-8! As awesome as this is, we are always in need of more mentors!

Recruiting mentors and donations to fund the program is an ongoing process undertaken by the Board of Directors. If you would like more information about becoming a mentor, please contact any individual on the TeamMates Board of Directors (listed below) or Karen Reynolds, program coordinator. If you would like to donate funds, you can do so from the Tri County web page. Please look at another link (see “How to Donate”) under the TEAMMATES tab on the website for instructions.

Thank you to all that have helped to make this opportunity available for our students! TeamMates CAN and WILL do great things for the students at Tri County!
