Why Volunteer?  ​
Did you know volunteering gives a healthy boost to your self-confidence providing a natural sense of accomplishment? Volunteering also combats depression, stress and anxiety. Studies have found that those who volunteer have a lower mortality rate than those who do not. Also studies have shown that volunteerism lessens the symptoms of chronic pain and heart disease.
