The Match Support Team for Lincoln TeamMates (LincolnTeammates.org) has a fun and important job. “We love matching mentors with mentees,” said Audrey Watson, Match Support Specialist. “And we know how life-impacting these relationships can be; the mentees and mentors experience so much joy. So, helping a young person connect with an additional caring adult is an honor and privilege.”
“Clark” is an incredibly likable kid that is currently on the waiting list for a mentor. He is an eighth-grader in North Lincoln and would love a mentor who will stick with him until graduation. He loves music and is an aspiring songwriter. A mentor would help him develop his goals and interests for the future. Bonus points for a mentor who shares his interest in Pokemon
