Teammates is more than a program... It is mentorship, connection, and caring adults showing up consistently for kids.

Two of Ogallala’s Teammates matches chose to spread a little extra kindness this Valentine’s Day by making treats for their classmates and Prairie View staff! What a sweet way to celebrate friendship and community. As you can see, a great time was had by all!

The TeamMates Mentoring Program connects students with positive adult mentors who meet regularly, build relationships, and make a lasting impact. Moments like this remind us that mentorship is not just about academics. It is about encouragement, belonging, and having someone in your corner.

If you have ever considered becoming a mentor, now is the perfect time. Join us in making a difference in the life of a student.

Sign up to be a mentor today!
