Volunteers are needed for Compeer, an award-winning program of Westchester Jewish Community Services that matches trained volunteers with individuals in mental health treatment who are in need of companionship. Compeer was founded in 1973 in Rochester, NY, and now has programs in the U.S. , Australia and Canada.
Volunteers commit to four or more hours per month for at least a year, and receive support and guidance from program staff. Volunteers may provide support through phone calls, texts or e-mails if they are unable to meet in person. Compeer gives volunteers the opportunity to make a significant difference in the lives of people who are often isolated and lonely.
