Our Compeer program, a chapter of Compeer International, matches friendly, sociable volunteers with adults in Rockland County who are in sustained recovery for their mental health. The volunteer and their matched Compeer typically take walks, grab a bite to eat, watch a movie, attend an art exhibit, visit the library, go shopping, or catch a sporting event together. Volunteers provide an extra level of positive friendship, support, and social interaction to help their Compeer friends – and the volunteers themselves – feel more fulfilled and engaged. 

Volunteers are essential to our Compeer program. If you are interested in making a commitment to foster better mental health in your community, please do not hesitate to reach out. All training is provided and volunteers commit to a service requirement of 4 hours/month for at least 1 year.
