Four hours a month changes two lives.
Volunteer as a Compeer friend, support the work with a gift, or join the team. Every path makes the same difference: someone in Western New York gets a steadier life.
Volunteer with Compeer
Compeer matches volunteers one-to-one with an adult or young person working toward better mental health. Every match is based on mutual preference and interest, and the commitment is flexible — four hours a month, for at least a year.
- One-to-one adult friendship match
- Youth mentoring match
- Compeer Calling — friendly weekly phone calls
- Monthly groups, special events committee, advisory board
Volunteers are screened, trained, and supported throughout. The right match can help you find friends, reach into your community, and learn new skills — the benefits run both directions.
