wondering if peer support is the right job for you?
We believe your story has the power to change lives.
You know what it's like to feel alone. To wish someone truly understood. We believe people who have been through their own lived experience have something powerful to offer those who are struggling. Especially older adults living in nursing homes, personal care facilities, and assisted living communities who too often go without that kind of connection.
And that's why we want you
on our team.

“MY PAST MAKES ME GOOD AT WHAT I DO.”
For a long time, I thought my past was something I needed to keep to myself. At Peerstar, it's actually why I'm good at what I do. When someone I'm working with realizes I've been where they are, that I get it because I lived it, you can see something shift. That moment is why I do this work.
