4 Benefits of Volunteering

1. Combats stress and depression. Studies on volunteering show that you become happier the more you volunteer because your body releases dopamine, which has a positive effect on how you feel.

2. Contributes to a longer life. Studies show that long-term volunteers have better overall health and a reduced risk of Alzheimer's and heart disease.

3. Expands your connections. You can create friendships through volunteering, as well as maintain a social network for future career benefits.

4. Teaches new skills. Volunteering gives you the opportunity to explore new skills and interests that can improve your care er.
