TeamMates Mentoring Program
Sarah Waldman, Executive Director
“We wish to thank Great Western Bank for their donation to the TeamMates Mentoring Program of Lincoln. Currently, over 8,000 youth in 158 chapters across Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Wyoming are being served. Your support has made this accomplishment possible. We are grateful for your support and for helping us make a difference and transform lives, together.”

It is with contributions such as yours that we are able to make our clients feel they are receiving the most informed and helpful services while they are navigating their way through some of the most challenging times in their lives. You are making a meaningful difference. You are turning victims into survivors. Thank you.”
