Organizational Overview:
Silver Lining Mentoring (SLM) empowers youth in foster care to thrive through committed mentoring relationships and the development of essential life-skills. For over 20 years, SLM has matched young people in the child welfare system with highly committed adult volunteer mentors. The match relationship is supported by in-depth training and ongoing personalized match support from clinically-informed staff. Most youth participants are preparing to age out of the child welfare system and Silver Lining mentors offer both companionship and guidance in navigating critical life skills.
SLM offers four core services to young people impacted by the child welfare system. This includes Community Based Mentoring, which provides one-to-one volunteer mentorships to youth ages 7+; Learn & Earn, a life skills curriculum accompanied by a 1:1 volunteer mentorship available to young people ages 16+, and Transition Age Youth Services, which provides life skills development and leadership opportunities to help young adults navigate their independent living goals. SLM’s fourth core service is offered through the Silver Lining Institute, the organization’s national initiative to expand access to mentoring relationships for youth impacted by foster care.
Position:
The Program Coordinator is the cornerstone of our strong mentoring match relationships. The Program Coordinator leverages clinical and human services education, the Elements of Effective Practice for Mentoring, and Silver Lining Mentoring’s policies and procedures to help cultivate long-term mentor/mentee relationships.
The primary responsibilities of this role are to provide clinically-informed support and guidance to a caseload of mentoring matches, assess progress of the match relationship, and participate in program evaluation efforts. This individual will also support SLM’s efforts related to youth programming by coordinating and facilitating SLM’s Build-A-Match initiative. The position reports to the Program Manager and collaborates closely with members of the programming team.
Responsibilities:
Mentoring Match and Youth Support (80%)
Organize Build-A-Match Cohorts (20%)
Who You Are & What You’re Good At:
Our ideal candidate will be a values-led, adaptable individual interested in supporting youth impacted by foster care. Data shows that BIPOC and women often rule themselves out from job opportunities when they don’t feel they fit 100% of the criteria listed in a job description. If that sounds like you, don’t rule yourself out!
