Youth Programs

The Compeer For Kids program matches trained, screened and sensitive volunteers in supportive friendships with youth receiving mental health treatment.  Compeer volunteers act as mentors and friends to children with diagnosed mental illnesses and emotional problems.  Our volunteers work to improve the child's social skills, ability to problem-solve, increase self-esteem, and improve academic interest and the ability to interact positively with parents, teachers and their peers, as well as provide emotional support. You can make a difference by becoming a friend to a child who needs a little encouragement from someone who really cares!
