Volunteering is self-care! Did you know that when you volunteer, you benefit yourself and those in need?
- Volunteering is good for your physical health. Research shows that volunteers are less likely to develop high blood pressure and more likely to live longer compared to non-volunteers.
- Volunteering improves your mental health. It promotes human connection, garners a greater sense of purpose, and happiness over time.
- Volunteering is an investment in your future. Volunteering provides opportunities to develop new skills, make professional connections, stand out in the job market, and increase employment opportunities.
- Volunteering is a powerful way to bridge divides. Coming together to address a shared obstacle or need can help communities overcome differences and unite under a common cause.
Volunteering on National Days of Service is also a great way to address a pressing need in your community and bring your passion to life.
Service allows you to turn your determination, compassion, and creativity into practical solutions for neighbors and strangers, alike. Seize your chance to make a difference and honor the memory of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Together, we can make a difference one service project at a time.
