About Silver Lining Mentoring

Silver Lining Mentoring empowers youth in foster care to thrive through committed mentoring relationships and the development of essential life skills. We are one of only a few mentoring organizations in the country exclusively focused on youth impacted by foster care.


The Need

Currently nearly 2,000 young people are moving through the foster care system in the Greater Boston area, often moving more than four times every three years. This instability makes it difficult for youth to form consistent, fulfilling, and supportive relationships. You can help change that.


The Program

Silver Lining Mentoring is the only mentorship program in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that’s designed specifically to support youth in foster care. Mentors are matched with a young person and develop a friendship with them, serving as a stable, consistent, and understanding presence during their time in foster care and a means of emotional support. 


You don’t need any prior training to be a mentor, just a caring heart and a willingness to support young people during a challenging transition. Mentors are 21+ years of age, are able to travel within the Greater Boston area, and can commit to one year of mentorship. 


The Impact

Mentoring can make a big difference in the life of a young person. 84% of young people that work with Silver Lining Mentoring report increased self confidence, social connectedness, and self growth as a result of the program.
