Volunteer your time and your resources!​

​

Volunteering is a mindset or a philosophy of service or a willingness to give back to your community to make the world around you a better place.

​

Volunteering your time or energy can have amazing benefits for you, too.

 

• Connection. Volunteering gives you the chance to meet new people and can improve your social and relationship skills. 

• A sense of meaning. A lot of research has been done on the link between altruism and happiness. The happiness that many people feel as a result of volunteering may be related in part to the increased sense of purpose and self-confidence experienced when people are generous with their time and energy.

• A longer lifespan. In addition to its emotional and mental benefits, volunteering can improve your physical health. Volunteering can lower stress levels and enhance peoples’ overall sense of well-being.
