Mentoring Stories
Each mentoring relationship is special and unique. See what a few of our mentors and mentees had to say about their experience with TeamMates.
From Lincoln Matches
I’ve learned the benefit and importance of sitting, listening, and giving someone your undivided attention. Seeing the world from someone else’s perspective has helped me to grow.
Felicia, TeamMates Mentor
He helps me to think about school and everything I face. He gives me advice, and I listen to what he says.
Leland, TeamMates Mentee
I wasnโt as open. I wasnโt as willing to try things, but now I donโt care. Iโm out there. I do everything. I try to make everyoneโs day because I realize someone might have a bad day, and I might be the only one to make it.
Haileigh, TeamMates Mentee
Meeting him every week during the school yearโI look forward to it because itโs something different. Everybody gets so busy, but once you slow down and take a little time, itโs satisfying.
Bryan, TeamMates Mentor
It took me a while to open up because I wasnโt the type of person to share my feelings. But since she kept showing up every time, I knew she was going to be there for me. By fourth or fifth grade, I got comfy.
Suha, TeamMates Mentee
