Families, schools, and teachers do a lot to support Nebraska kids, but sometimes they need more.That is where mentors fill the gap.They provide guidance, a hand on the shoulder, a source of support, and more. Nebraska has many such programs. Unfortunately, the need for mentors far outnumbers those who are available.
