Silver Lining Mentoring (SLM) matches youth and young adults with lived foster care experience with a screened and trained volunteer mentor who commits to meeting with that young person for a minimum of 6–8 hours per month for at least one year. Youth and mentors are supported by clinically trained SLM staff.
This opportunity is specifically for youth who are:
• Ages 7–23 at the time of enrollment
• Reside within the Greater Boston Area
• Impacted by out-of-home experience (foster care or adoption)
• Current or former involvement with Massachusetts Department of Children & Families (DCF)
• Interested in having a mentor
If the youth does not currently meet the above eligibility, you may still complete this form and a team member will contact you shortly. Please don’t hesitate to contact us at intake@silverliningmentoring.org with any questions.
