What is Compeer?
History
Compeer was originally founded in 1973 in Rochester New York. When it started it only had 12 volunteers. Today, there are Compeer affiliates all over the world.
In 2013, the Compeer Model was included in the National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP).
