Mission

At TeamMates, our mission is to positively impact the world by inspiring students to reach their full potential through mentoring. 

Profile

We currently have 31 matches grades 5-10.  Our matches meet within the school building for 30 minutes a week and have been making some really great connections.  One mentee states, " My mentor makes a Thursday, more than just a Thursday."  Our mentors are also finding the benefits of spending 30 minutes  week with a super awesome kid.  One mentor says, " But the most pleasant surprise for me, so far, if the impact that my mentee has had on me."

We have some amazing community members who are willing to just show up and be there for a student. In that process they are making amazing connections and life long friendships.
