“Works says when he needs help, he doesn’t call his DCF worker. He calls @SLMYouth. When his food stamps ran out, his volunteer #mentor told him where to find a nearby food pantry. “I need support, they talk to me, try to figure out what I need for help.”

Young people land in foster care through no fault of their own. For many who age out of state care, the road to independence without family or institutional help is a perilous one.

Grateful for partners like @HopeandComfort1! As part of #HygieneInsecurityAwarenessWeek, last week we received a big donation of basic hygiene supplies—soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, and more—for our mentees.

A little fall creativity at SLM! 🍂 We had the best time at our recent embroidery workshop, where our community learned to stitch these adorable acorns. A huge shoutout to one of our own talented SLM mentors for designing the pattern AND teaching the workshop!
