Nearly 80% of youth in foster care who identify as LGBTQ were removed or ran away from their placements as a result of hostility toward their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. Research shows that access to a consistent positive mentor helps LGBTQ youth in foster care find a sense of belonging.
Silver Lining Mentoring is currently looking for LGBTQ adult mentors to be matched with LGBTQ young people so that we can give our youth the support and role models they deserve! Will you or someone you know be part of the solution by becoming a mentor? If so, take the first step by joining us for an info session on our website to learn more!"

Mission Statement
Silver Lining Mentoring empowers foster and adopted youth to flourish through committed mentoring relationships.
Description
Silver Lining Mentoring is the only mentoring organization in Massachusetts that exclusively serves youth in foster care. Founded in 2001, Silver Lining empowers foster youth in Greater Boston to flourish through committed mentoring relationships and the development of essential life skills. We provide long term one-to-one mentoring and life skills development for young people who have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect. Our volunteer mentors are often the only adults in our youth’s lives who are not paid to spend time with them.
