Are you a loving, caring friend? Do you have knowledge and experience of the hardships that mental health disorders can create? Do you have just four hours a month to dedicate to being a friend? If yes, you could be the right person to volunteer with Compeer and start changing someone's life!
Compeer Utica is an evidenced-based program that aims to improve the quality of life for adults, children, and families struggling with mental health disorders by positively impacting their lives through meaningful friendships and mentorships. Volunteers are paired with a Compeer "friend" (clients referred to the program) to create a 1 on 1 supportive match to overcome the social and emotional side effects they're facing with their mental health.
To be eligible to volunteer with Compeer, you must:
- be 18+ years old
- fill out an application
- be willing to undergo a background check
- attend an orientation training
- be willing to commit at least four (4) hours per month of your time for 1 year (preferred but flexible)
- HAVE FUN!
