Apply to be a mentor at Silver Lining Mentoring 

Looking for ways to give back to the Greater Boston community? Join Silver Lining Mentoring, whose mission is to connect mentors with young people in the foster care system. All you need is an open heart, an open mind, and a willingness to listen! Why male mentors? Right now, the program has a critical need for male mentors to support young people, particularly boys in foster care, who often lack consistent male role models. Your presence can help a young person build confidence, social connections, and self-growth. In fact, 84% of youth in Silver Lining Mentoring report measurable positive impact from their mentorship. <a href="https://www.silverliningmentoring.org/become-a-mentor/">Learn more and apply</a> The impact you can make Mentoring with Silver Lining isn’t just about giving, it’s about seeing transformation. 84% of youth in the program report increased self-confidence, stronger social connections, and personal growth. <a href="https://www.silverliningmentoring.org/become-a-mentor/">Learn more and apply</a>. Fall deadline application is October 31. A story that started it all Silver Lining Mentoring was founded by Justin Pasquariello, who knows foster care firsthand. After years of moving between homes, he found stability with a foster family that ultimately adopted him. Later, as a Harvard freshman, Justin became a mentor and realized how one person can change a life. Inspired, he created a program to serve youth in foster care – a program that continues to grow and change lives in Greater Boston. How to get involved Mentors must be 21+ and can come from any background. Male mentors are especially encouraged to apply. Applications are open now. Submit by October 31st. Be the silver lining in a young person’s life. <a href="https://www.silverliningmentoring.org/become-a-mentor/">Learn more and apply</a>
