“Nancy and I are looking forward to a great event that will benefit youth by supporting the TeamMates Mentoring program,” said Osborne. “I just hope they don’t ask me to sing – that would be a bad call.”


The TeamMates Mentoring Program was founded in 1991 by Dr. Tom and Nancy Osborne. TeamMates is a school based, one-to-one mentoring program that matches adult volunteers from the community with students to provide support and encouragement. The goal of the program is to help youth graduate from high school and pursue post-secondary education. The TeamMates Mentoring Program serves more than 4,000 youth in 112 communities across Nebraska and Iowa.
