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.
As Governor, I have designated February as Mentoring Month in Nebraska, and I am issuing a call to action. I am asking Nebraskans to serve as mentors to our kids. It doesn’t require any specialized training or certification. It doesn’t take a lot of time or talent. All that is needed is a willingness to show up.
Coach Tom Osborne was a role model to me throughout my football career and afterward.
