"A mentor is not just someone you meet with. It’s someone who sees you, understands you, and supports you, even when things get hard. I remember struggling so much in geometry. I really thought I wasn’t going to pass. I felt like giving up. But my mentor didn’t let me stay there. She kept showing up for me, reminding me that I was capable. You keep going. You keep trying. You keep showing up. That’s what successful people do." -- TeamMates 2026 graduate, Kabeh

Another recent graduate had this to say, "My mentor gave me a space where I could be completely honest. I never had to pretend things were okay when they weren’t, and instead of trying to fix it or brush it off, she just listened. She stayed. She made it feel okay to not be okay, and that kind of support is something I’ll never forget. That’s what my TeamMate is to me -- someone who stays when things are messy, unpredictable, and difficult. Someone who reminds you who you are when you start to forget." --TeamMates mentee, Hannah

Hear from one of our recent graduates: "We live in a weird, complicated and scary world that I’m about to graduate high school in, but I think I’m at an advantage because of my TeamMate. I’ve gotten to see how she’s gotten through challenges that I’m going to face or am currently dealing with. I've learned to put care into my life, whether that’s caring for myself, people around me, or what I’m doing, and that if I care about something, I should work and fight for it." -- TeamMates mentee, Ryn
