Founded by Dr. Tom Osborne in 1991, TeamMates has been serving students to help them reach their full potential for over 32 years. As mentors, we have an opportunity to make a difference in the life of a student simply by making a commitment to visit them at school once a week. Building this relationship gives our mentees someone they can trust and allows them a greater sense of belonging. Over the years, TeamMates has found that former mentees often pay their experience forward by becoming mentors themselves. 95% of TeamMates Mentees graduate from high school on time and 82% say they feel more hopeful about their future. In addition, many mentees receive scholarships to continue their education beyond high school.
