When we give of our time and talents we improve the lives of others, strengthen our community, connect with one another, and transform our own lives. Studies suggest that other benefits may come with volunteering. Volunteers have lower rates of depression and lower mortality rates; older volunteers often benefit from increased social and physical activity; children and teens who perform service get to look beyond themselves and understand how they can impact their community.
