Peer Support

At APRIL, we believe that peer support is one of the most important pieces of Independent Living. Let's learn together, not recreate the wheel, and make connections.  We are always growing our peer support opportunities.

If you have an idea for peer support, reach out to Mary Willard (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) or Sierra Royster (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) who operate programs at APRIL. 

We want to hear from you always!

Meanwhile, check out the peer support opportunities we do have available now!
