Center for Family Life and Recovery, Inc.’s Compeer Program fosters good mental health and increased social skills by matching community volunteers in supportive mentoring friendships with at risk youth, adults, seniors, and veterans receiving mental health services in Oneida and Herkimer Counties.

Mentoring opportunities include:
1:1 Youth Friendship: Volunteer is matched with a youth in a 1:1 supportive friendship
1:1 Adult Friendship: Volunteer is matched with an adult in a 1:1 supportive friendship
