The National Mentoring Partnership has identified that there are 15 million children in our nation that are in need of a caring and quality mentors. Thousands of these children live in Nebraska and Kansas. In an effort to help close this "mentoring gap", former Coaches Tom Osborne and Bill Snyder, both mentoring advocates, have issued a friendly challenge to each other's state--to see which state can sign up the most new mentors this summer and fall. The winning state will be announced during the K-State Nebraska football game on November 15th, 2008. To join the team and be a mentor click on the clock below.

TeamMates Mentoring Program
Welcome to TeamMates Mentoring Program. On behalf of our founders, Tom and Nancy Osborne, we thank you for your interest in mentoring. Educating ourselves about the importance of mentoring young people is an ongoing process. Without it, we cannot help our youth develop into citizens who make a positive difference in their communities. Our hope is that through mentoring we motivate not only our young people, but all people who have made a difference in the lives of others. We believe that by reaching out to others, we can positively impact the world around us.
You are invited to join thousands of volunteers who are making a difference in the lives of youth each day by becoming a mentor. Click on the mentor logo below to hear about the mentors that impacted the co-founder of the TeamMates Mentoring Program, Tom Osborne.
