Peer-to-peer is right here

New River Valley Community Services runs a program on Main Street in Radford called 401 Peer Center. (Yes, it’s at 401 W. Main Street.) The mission—is a very open and inclusive and diverse one, whether you go with the short version: “A safe place where others are encouraged to come” or the official version: “a peer-to-peer program that encourages individuals to use the facility and its resources for learning, computer use, socializing with peers, attending groups/classes, playing games, participating in social events and relaxing.”

An easy way to keep up with the current offering is to follow the organization on Facebook @401PeerCenter.

With ongoing activities and gatherings, 401 Peer Center is rebounding to a more robust schedule as staffing returns from the pandemic interruption. “Engaging and transformational,” said one reviewer after attending a recent event that presented an educator and motivational speaker.

401 Peer Center brings people together to not only address ways to improve our community and encourage wellness, but to help individuals achieve their developmental goals.

In many ways, 401 Peer Center serves as a showcase, flagship, outreach, and practical application of the New River Valley Community Services organization. The group manages and collaborates with a lot of resources to accomplish these goals.
