WE FEEL BETTER WHEN WE HELP OTHERS
WE FEEL BETTER WHEN WE KNOW SOMEONE CARES
Studies on human behavior and the mind demonstrate that a loving and helpful life is more likely to be a happier, healthier and longer one.
Volunteers have less trouble sleeping, less anxiety, less helplessness & hopelessness; better friendships and social networks, and a greater sense of control over chronic conditions. 92% of volunteers report that it enriches their sense of purpose in life.
Helping others and volunteering is so central to well-being, meaning, and community that we need to ensure their place across every generation.
