    The Compeer Program at Far West Center is looking for adult male volunteers to offer friendship and compassionate listening for men managing mental illness. Compeer Volunteers make their own schedule. Training is provided to help you feel comfortable in your role. We need one-to-one Friendship Match Volunteers that offer phone calls, encourage their matches to attend facilitated Compeer social events. We also need volunteers to help offer support during facilitated social events.
