Support Compeer - Volunteer

Compeer’s lifeblood is its volunteers. Volunteering to become a Compeer mentor is easy, and we offer flexible programs to meet your busy schedule.

Compeer matches community volunteers in friendship relationships with children and adults who are receiving mental-health treatment. Volunteer opportunities vary by location. The most urgent need remains the one-to-one mentoring relationship, where a volunteer is matched with a person receiving mental-health treatment — who is referred to Compeer by a mental-health professional.

Community volunteers, who are screened and fully trained, visit their Compeer friend and do the things they enjoy everyday – from taking walks to seeing movies, going out to dinner and taking in a sporting event. Volunteers can also participate in life-enhancing programs, such as cooking, money management or recreation; one-day activities; and group outings.
