Children's Compeer One-to-One Mentors match with a child who is striving for good mental health. One-to-One mentors work with children in the community having fun together. Going to the zoo, the park, the movies, and other events and activities with their mentors helps to improve children's social skills, confidence, and sense of belonging and integration in their communities. The caring friendships and positive role models provided to children by Compeer's One-to-One program are often long-lasting and help to improve the lifestyles of the children mentored by Compeer volunteers. Join us in making a difference in our community today; be a Children's Compeer One-to-One mentor!

Mission Statement

Description
Compeer volunteers have an impact on the lives of those they mentor by providing caring, supportive relationships, being positive role models, and helping their mentee gain confidence and a feeling of connection to their community. Individuals referred to Compeer are often lonely or isolated and struggle with peer-to-peer relationships, social skills, academics, feeling accepted, or trusting others. Compeer offers mentorship opportunities that are community-based one-to-one friendships and school-based friendships with children ages 6 to 17, community-based one-to-one friendships with adults, and veteran-to-veteran relationships. Will you join us in making a difference in the lives of those whose lives have been impacted by mental illness?
