Compeer Calling and E-buddies is a program specifically dedicated to adults in the Compeer Program who are awaiting 1:1 (in-person) matches. Just one phone call, e-mail, or letter per week can make a diffference in someone's life and help prepare him or her for a 1:1 match. As with every Compeer match, volunteers are professionally trained and supported throughout their service. One of the easiest ways to make a meaningful impact, become a Compeer Caller or E-buddy today! Compeer Rochester uses community volunteers to provide guidance and support to individuals who are looking to improve their well-being as a supplement to mental health treatment. For over 40 years, we have helped people in our community who are isolated and lacking socialization, all through the power of 1:1 mentoring relationships.
Compeer Rochester's mission is to provide and support friendships that help adults, youth, and Veterans recover from mental illness.
