This Year's Project: Activity Boxes


About Our Organization

TeamMates is an organization founded by Dr. Tom and Nancy Osborne in 1991 with chapters forming throughout Nebraska.  TeamMates matches caring adults with youth in grades 3 - 12 from the Beatrice Public Schools. The mentor/mentee pair spends 20-30 minutes together each week at the child's school throughout the school year or virtually.  The read books, play games, do crafts, shoot hoops or just talk.  Our mission is to positively impact the world by helping youth reach their full potential.  



Current Project: Activity Boxes



Durig Teammates mentoring time, the mentees and mentors often play board games or complete crafts.  This helps both the students and adults who may be nervous about what to talk about during their time together.  The games and activities also provide opportunities for learning and facilitate discussions.

We would like to purchase new board games and activity supplies for each of the boxes in the participating school buildings.  (High School, Middle School, Paddock Elementary and Stoddard Elementary)

  • ASSISTING YOUTH TO FINANCE COLLEGE


    Project Details

    TeamMates youth often are heard saying "I will never be able to afford to go to college." This is why the scholarship component is so important. If a youth has been a TeamMate for a minimum of two years and graduates from high school, he or she will receive $250 per semester. This year we have 3 mentees that are seniors. Along with receiving a scholarship from TeamMates of Beatrice, TeamMates mentees have access to TeamMates Central Office Scholarships and our post-secondary institution scholarships. This is often the incentive needed to encourage youth to take that next step.
