Compeer Buffalo

@vizziv32 @KateGIaser @DelReid Thank you for your question! Our typical match process is to match male clients with male volunteers, but many factors are taken into account when making matches! Reach out to rijaa@compeerbuffalo.org to inquire more about volunteering!

@KateGIaser @DelReid @CompeerBuffalo Does it have to be a male mentor? I love all of those things and would love to volunteer my time.

OMG. I'm 😭 This WNY boy doesn't have a buddy match and all he wants to do is go to the science museum to discover dino bones. My heart. @DelReid he wants a friend to watch Marvel movies with him. Guys, someone has GOTTA step up for this! Contact @CompeerBuffalo for details.

@CaptPantalones @KateGIaser @DelReid Thank you for your generosity! Please message us with a good contact e-mail for you so we can connect directly.

@KateGIaser @DelReid @CompeerBuffalo I'm a personal trainer and I'd love to help Braden with his get fit goal
