Recruiting Organization: Compeer of Greater Buffalo

Compeer for Seniors --ages 60+

Become a caring friend to a senior! Compeer volunteers demonstrate that friendly encouragement and caring support can truly enrich a lonely life. So often, many seniors are losing access to mental health professionals with whom they have enjoyed longstanding relationships. Many Compeer seniors are often lacking the supportive friendships that so many of us take for granted and are struggling with loneliness and isolation. All Compeer seniors are aged 60 plus. I currently have close to 80 volunteers in the older adult program who are making a huge difference in their friend’s lives.
