TeamMates

TeamMates is a one-to-one mentoring program that matches caring adults with youth. Our goal is for students to work with a TeamMates mentor until they graduate from high school. TeamMates was started in 1991 by former Nebraska coach, Tom Osborne and has expanded to 170+ communities in five states. The South Sioux City Chapter was started in 2006. The mission of TeamMates is to positively impact the world by inspiring youth to reach their full potential through mentoring.
