Why Volunteer?
Volunteering is good for your body and soul!
For your body…
Volunteering
• May help you to live longer.
• Helps combat depression and loneliness.
And your soul…
Volunteering
• Can give you a sense of purpose. After all, it's nice to be needed!
• Gives you the chance to share your skills and knowledge with others. It can help you to make new friends.
• Allows you to explore your interests. Do you like children? Work as a mentor or tutor. Are you an environmentalist? Work in the welcome center of a National Park. Do you like to cook? Volunteer to prepare a meal in a soup kitchen.
