Teammates Mentoring Program

Scott Frost, Wide receivers coach for U. of Oregon

Teammates is a mentoring program started by Tom and Nancy Osborne in 1991 that aims to provide support and encouragement to school aged youth, and after meeting Tom Osbourne at a Teammates fundraiser a few years ago, I decided I wanted to sign up as volunteer.

A couple of years passed and I still had not signed up. Well, a couple of months ago a friend of mine nominated me to be a mentor. Teammates contacted me, but again I failed to sign up.

I had every excuse in the book. What could I teach a kid? I don’t even have kids of my own. Why would they want me to mentor them? The only person I mentor is my dog Oscar. I am too busy and my work schedule varies.

Then I read an article about former Husker Scott Frost. Reading this changed everything and made me jump off the fence. Click here to read the article.
