In February 2019, we were given the opportunity to appear on the popular daytime news program “Good Day PA!” to discuss our Compeer and CompeerCorps programs. It was a great chance to showcase Compeer to a larger audience and to educate the public on our organization, what we do, and how we help people. Executive Director Kendra Elliott was on hand to speak about CompeerCorps and the need for new volunteers and clients as well as to raise awareness for the organization.
Compeer of Lebanon County is a nonprofit organization located in Lebanon, PA, that specializes in matching clients recovering from mental illness with a volunteer to form a lifelong friendship. Compeer serves the Central PA area with 3 specific programs: Compeer, CompeerCorps, and support groups. Compeer also hosts 3 socials each month that allow for the clients and volunteers to come together, have fun, learn, and build a sense of community and belonging.
