New school year, new routines, new expectations—and sometimes new stress.

A young person may be excited about school while also feeling nervous, overwhelmed, or unsure about what the year will bring.

Instead of the usual “How was school?”, try asking:

💬 “What's one thing that's going well—and one thing that's been hard?”

Then listen. You don't have to fix it or have all the answers. Sometimes a simple question and a caring adult who is willing to listen can make a difference.

🧠 Mindful Mentoring: Check in. Listen. Connect.

🛶💙 Another Great Night on the Water!

Our annual kayaking night was another summer favorite! We love watching youth who have never kayaked before climb into a boat, figure out how to paddle and steer, and gain confidence with every lap. Kids are amazing at how quickly they catch on! 🛶☀️

A huge thank you to all of the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission staff and rangers who came out to provide the kayaks, equipment, instruction, and encouragement. Your time and enthusiasm make this experience possible, and we appreciate everything you do for our youth!

And a special thank you to our friends at Esperanza. This year marks five years of partnering together on this activity, and we love seeing what happens when our organizations come together to create opportunities for young people.

From first-time paddlers to those who are becoming pros, there's something pretty special about watching people of all ages try something new, encourage each other, and have a whole lot of fun along the way. 💙

We love this event—and we're so grateful to everyone who helps make it happen!

💬 Have you ever tried kayaking? What was your first experience like?

🎣💙 A Great Evening on the Water!

Last week, mentors, mentees, and families from Community Connections Mentoring and HOPE - Esperanza enjoyed a fun evening of fishing at Iron Horse Park!

There were plenty of smiles, plenty of fish, and lots of excitement every time someone got a bite. 🎣🐟 All the fish were catch and release, giving everyone a chance to enjoy the experience while caring for our local waters.

A huge thank you to the many Nebraska Game and Parks rangers who came out to help our youth learn, bait hooks, untangle lines, and cheer on every catch. Your time and enthusiasm made the evening extra special!

We are so grateful for community partners who create opportunities for young people to try something new, enjoy the outdoors, and make memories together. 💙

💬 Did you go fishing this summer? What was your biggest catch?
