TeamMates for Donors

TeamMates is a one-to-one, school-based mentoring program whose goal is to provide youth with the support and encouragement they need to graduate from high school and pursue a post-secondary education. Started in 1991, TeamMates has grown from 22 mentor-mentee matches to serving over 43,000 youth in Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming and Iowa. The impact of a TeamMates mentor in the life of a young person is remarkable, with mentees reporting higher levels of hope, engagement in school, and well-being in addition to improvements in their attendance, behavior, and course performance.
