SILVER LINING MENTORING'S COMMUNITY BASED MENTORING PROGRAM MATCHES YOUTH IMPACTED BY FOSTER CARE IN GREATER BOSTON WITH TRAINED VOLUNTEER MENTORS IN ONE-TO-ONE RELATIONSHIPS. MENTORS COMMIT TO SPENDING TIME WITH THEIR MENTEES IN PERSON IN THE COMMUNITY EACH MONTH, OFFERING CONSISTENT SUPPORT, ENCOURAGEMENT, AND CONNECTION. WHILE MENTORS MAKE AN INITIAL ONE-YEAR COMMITMENT, THE AVERAGE MATCH LASTS FOUR YEARS, MORE THAN TWICE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. SUPPORTED BY SLM STAFF, THESE RELATIONSHIPS HELP YOUTH BUILD TRUST, CONFIDENCE, LIFE SKILLS, AND A STRONGER SENSE OF BELONGING. FOR MANY YOUTH IN FOSTER CARE, MENTORS ARE THE ONLY CONSISTENT ADULT IN THEIR LIVES WHO IS NOT PAID TO SPEND TIME WITH THEM.
