Silver Lining Mentors are age 21+ and make a commitment to spend at least eight hours per month with their mentee for a minimum of one year. Mentors come from all walks of life - SLM is always looking for new mentors from all backgrounds and identities. Additionally, Silver Lining is committed to identifying mentors who share qualities with youth in our programs, including mentors of color, those who identify as LGBTQ, male mentors, and mentors with personal experience in foster care.
Mentors and youth can begin their relationship in Community Based Mentoring, the Learn & Earn program, or in the Build-a-Match program. Throughout the match relationship, a dedicated Silver Lining Mentoring staff member with Master’s-level training provides ongoing support to both the mentor and the youth.
The first step to becoming a mentor is signing up to attend an information session.

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.
