Lincoln TeamMates Mentoring
Walk the Talk is a podcast with TeamMates Mentoring of Lincoln, a youth mentoring program that aims to help youth reach their full potential. Hosted by Meredith Cain and Audrey Watson, two staff members of Lincoln TeamMates, in Walk the Talk, we discuss all things mentoring, integrity, and how we try to incorporate best practices in TeamMates. We’re not just talking the talk, we’re walking it.
This is no boring year-in-review! Meredith and Audrey are joined by four other Lincoln TeamMates staff who share their “rose, bud, thorn” of the school year, and we hear from some insightful mentees about their own TeamMates experiences.
