O’NEILL NE – On September 2, The TeamMates Mentoring Program gathered board members for strategic planning and creating a vision statement for the program. The vision for TeamMates of Holt County is to serve 50 youth by 2013 and to have matches meet 24 or more times annually. To realize this vision, the board will be recruiting new mentors, board members and educating the community on the impact of mentoring in the lives of youth.
TeamMates Executive Director, Suzanne Hince was on hand to provide the planning. “We are very excited about the new vision for TeamMates of Holt County. The commitment to youth in the community is evident by the quality of the volunteers associated with the program. We are grateful to the mentors and board members who are willing to give of their time and talents to young people,” said Hince.
In July, Holt County TeamMates received a grant of $2500 from the Norfolk Area United Way for support and expansion of the existing program. This grant helps cover the costs associated with recruiting and training qualified mentors.
