Tom and Nancy Osborne established the TeamMates Mentoring Program in 1991 to provide support and encouragement to school-aged youth. We are a school-based mentoring program, which means mentoring takes place in the school building during school hours at our middle school and high school. TeamMates of Aurora began in 1999 and we currently have 39 matches. Mentors are community volunteers who build a relationship with students. Mentors give youth a sense of hope, purpose and vision.
