About TeamMatesThe Mission of TeamMatesTo build positive relationships to help young people reach their full potential.The Purpose of TeamMatesTeamMates Mentoring Program 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 Osborne's program emphasized building character.The school-based, one-to-one mentoring program pairs adult volunteers one-to-one with students. Adult TeamMates serve as positive role models for the students needing extra adult attention. An adult TeamMate is anyone who serves as a positive role model, friend, champion, coach or guide and will take a personal interest in the growth and development of the student. They meet with their student (mentee) at least one hour a week during school hours. During this time together, they share in a variety of activities helping them form in establishing their relationship. Students are expected to refrain from engaging in any illegal activity, including drug/alcohol/tobacco use, gang involvement and other at-risk behaviors. Investing in the future"Our young people face different challenges today that affect them personally. If we are going to make a difference, we have to get involved with them as one-to-one mentors. We thank you for your support and we know that one student at a time, we can make a difference, not only in this generation, but for the generations to come." - Dr. Tom & Nancy Osborne |
