COLUMBUS — Columbus’ youth will have more mentors thanks to an effort by Heather Loseke.

The former Miss Columbus embarked on a challenge to businesses this year to increase mentoring in the community. Called the Miss Columbus Business Challenge, it kicked off at the start of the year.

Businesses were encouraged to increase their number of employees who mentor. The organization that showed the greatest increase was rewarded with a visit by Tom Osborne, founder of the TeamMates mentoring program.

The Business Challenge concluded May 15. Winning the challenge was Columbus Family Practice. Osborne spent an afternoon luncheon with the group Thursday at Wunderlich’s.
