Year End Celebration

Pictured above are two Metro Omaha TeamMates graduates



It's that time of year again! It's SPRING!!! Time for the spring game and time for TeamMates Year End Celebrations and Walks. Each chapter does the event a little different. Chapters: go bowling, walk the track at the school, visit the zoo, or get together for a meal.

Last year the Metro Omaha Chapter had nearly 1,300 TeamMates Celebrate a Successful Year on April 23, 1,300 mentors and mentees from the Omaha Metro Chapter of the TeamMates Mentoring Program enjoyed a day at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha.

The highlight of the day was a special program honoring graduating TeamMates seniors and their mentors. Each attending graduate was given a TeamMates medallion and a TeamMates diploma. Ashlyn Rogers from Millard Public Schools gave a moving testimony of how her mentor Kelly Souder impacted her life. She encouraged all mentors to continue mentoring because they are making a difference.

This year the Metro Omaha Year End Celebration is April 22nd! We are excited about this beautiful weather - it's going to be a great day to celebrate a year of mentoring.
