Compeer Rochester makes the world less lonely — one friend at a time.  

Scroll Less, Connect More. The average American spends about 64 hours a month on social media. Compeer Rochester’s volunteers swap just four of those hours, offering friendship to children, adults and Veterans who need a friend.  This connection fosters wellness, reduces isolation, and strengthens our community.  

What We Do

Volunteer: Youth and Adult Mentoring 

Share coffee, a walk, or bond over common interests. Compeer Volunteers are matched one-on-one with someone who needs a friend.  With four hours a month, they spend time with their new friend, helping them to feel seen, supported and less lonely.  

Chances are, it will change your life for the better, too!

Empowering Our Vets: CompeerCORPS and Vets Driving Vets  

Compeer CORPS helps Veterans to build positive mental health as they transition from military service to civilian life.  

 Volunteering with CompeerCORPS can be a one-on-one friendship, participating in an adaptive or traditional outdoor sport, or driving one of our Vets Driving Vets vehicles. All of these activities nurture a feeling of camaraderie with fellow Vets.
