Mental Health Mentors

Compeer programs match friendly, sociable volunteers with adults in Rockland County who are in sustained recovery for mental health. The volunteer and their match 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 receive comprehensive training before spending at least four hours per month and one year in duration with their Compeer friends. This gift of friendship helps build a bond of belonging and enhanced wellness. Givers gain!

Volunteer requirements:

• Volunteers MUST be based in Rockland County
• Volunteers MUST meet with their Compeer friend in person at least once per month
• Volunteers who are 40+ are especially encouraged to express interest
• Male volunteers are especially needed!
