A New Vet-to-Vet Program Comes to MCC!


The Military Advocacy Program has partnered with CompeerCORPS Rochester to offer MCC’s military community a new opportunity to connect with fellow service members:  

“CompeerCORPS is a peer program that matches Veterans with other Veterans in supportive relationships. A volunteer of this program acts as a friend, role model and advocate to a fellow Veteran, engaging in community-based activities on a consistent basis. Participants explore their strengths and challenges, navigating resources available to them. Not a Veteran? Please ask about mentoring a military child, spouse or caretaker.”

All MCC students, staff and faculty who have served or are serving in the United States military – veteran, active duty, Reserve, or Guard - are invited to volunteer/participate!

There will be two Orientation events in October (choose one), and the formal Training Session will be offered in November:

Vet-to-Vet Orientation events in October:
* October 20th from 3:30-4:30pm in room 3-115
* October 23rd from Noon to 1:00pm in room 3-115

Vet-to-Vet Training Session:
November 19th from 3:30-5:30pm in room 3-115

If you are interested, please save the dates and RSVP directly to MAP Facilitator, Prof. Heather Williams, to hold a spot during one of the Orientation events:<mailto:hwilliams@monroecc.edu>.
