Silver Lining Project

Let Us Lend a Helping Hand

Through over 50 campaigns, including “Silver Skills” training cohorts, “Oba’s Roundtable” discussion groups, gatherings, educational forums and HIV acceptance campaigns, we have engaged over 100 members of the Silver Lining Project.

The Silver Lining Project is dedicated to providing a safe, welcoming space—both online and in person—where mature African American men living with HIV can connect, discuss, and advocate for issues that matter to our community. We organize informative meetings, community outreach, and social events aimed at enriching the lives of our members.

As a part of THRIVE SS, we share a common mission to support Men of Color living with HIV who are over fifty. We recognize the unique challenges that come with aging with HIV, particularly for those who are Black and gay, and we are committed to addressing these needs together.

THE SILVER SKILLS CURRICULUM

The Silver Skills Curriculum is a workshop written and designed by black gay men over 50 living with HIV for black men over 50 living with HIV. The workshop is designed to inform, enlighten, and inspire you. Enabling you to conquer internal and external stigma. Our goal is to support you, and keep you whole while listening to your stories. When you complete this curriculum, our hope is that you will want to be more involved in advocating for yourself and your community. More importantly, we hope that you will THRIVE with no fear, having defeated internal stigma.
