Through simple acts of friendship and connection, our volunteers remind people who are facing mental health challenges that they’re not alone.

This , join Compeer in showing that being there for someone makes all the difference. Just a few hours a month can create connection, hope, and healing for someone who needs a friend.

Kindness changes lives — and you can be part of it.

Spread the kindness and volunteer today: https://www.compeerrochester.org/become-a-volunteer

Kindness doesn’t need to be grand. Let’s celebrate all the small acts of kindness that can brighten someone’s day!

Hold the door, call a friend, say hi to a stranger... it doesn't take much. “Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.” -Dalai Lama

Tell us about something you did today to bring a smile to someone else's face: comment below, tag us or DM us so we can share your act and keep the kindness going!

We look like a fun bunch, don't we? It was only a few weeks ago that we had a great evening at La Bola – with games, photo booth, delicious appetizers, raffles and, best yet, great friends – in anticipation of our annual walk, The Compeer Mile… and now the big event is almost here!

Join us TOMORROW, Sunday, November 2, in Downtown Rochester for more fun to come. Every year, this walk brings the community together to celebrate the power of connection and the importance of mental wellness.

Registrants will receive a free t-shirt and the option for discounted admission to the Strong Museum of Play after the walk, or a gathering at Lila’s that includes complimentary appetizers with purchase. Help us make the world less lonely, one step at a time…beginning right here in Rochester!

You can register for this Sunday’s walk here through Saturday, and then on-site on Sunday morning (beginning at 10:15am): https://secure.qgiv.com/for/compeerrochester/event/thecompeermile2025/
In the meantime, enjoy some photos from our kickstarter night at La Bola!
