The life you change could be your own.

We are still taking on new volunteers safely!

 

Looking for a meaningful volunteering opportunity in Rochester, NY? We are confident that Compeer Rochester volunteers receive as much as they give. In as little as four hours a month, you can make a tremendous impact on someone in our community who lives with mental illness — and enhance your own life in the meantime. After all, the many benefits of friendship apply to both people in the pair!  

Our volunteers are carefully matched according to mutual preferences and receive comprehensive, customized training, and personalized, constant support from Compeer Rochester staff. Plus, we provide ample opportunity to bond with the Compeer Rochester community through events and activities throughout the year, such as our annual cookout.

For best contact: Please contact the program specific coordinator by email or phone. Please check your spam folder if you don’t hear from your coordinator within 72 business hours.

“It’s easy to get involved and the volunteer work is flexible. Volunteering is a rewarding experience and is beneficial to the volunteer as well as the participant, especially for those who don’t get a lot of human interaction throughout their day.”

— Sara Passamonte, Executive Director
