“I joined the CompeerCORPS PFC Dwyer program in 2015, and right from the beginning it gave me a purpose in life when I thought I had none after being medically retired.  The PFC Dwyer program saved my life for sure and gave me hope! I see this program gives hope for my fellow veterans as well, and I know they can benefit just as my family and I have. We have become a stronger together, thanks to the amazing PFC Dwyer program!”

—Sarge Mitchell, US Army Veteran

CAMARADERIE IS THE KEY to feeling at home.

We are excited to announce that CompeerCORPS and OASIS Adaptive Sports have merged!

Many Veterans deal with severe daily stresses that stem from trauma experienced during deployment. Our CompeerCORPS Program partners with the Monroe County Veterans Service Agency, through the PFC Dwyer Initiative, offering peer supports that  provide opportunities for Veterans to engage, network, and form friendships with other Veterans to help re-establish the feeling of camaraderie and build positive mental health as they transition from military service to civilian life. 

CompeerCORPS facilitates peer support and opportunities for Veterans to engage, network, and form friendships with other Veterans in camaraderie though ongoing transition back to the Rochester community and civilian life.
