Research shows 8 long term health benefits from volunteering:
1. By helping others, you’ll build a greater sense of trust and self-esteem.
2. The relationships you can create while volunteering are endless.
3. Volunteers encounter greater longevity and less frequency of heart disease. Volunteers may be at a lower risk for memory loss, too.
4. You attain a personal sense of accomplishment, which accounts for some of the positive effects that volunteering has on your mood.
5. When you assist others, your body releases dopamine in the brain, which has a positive effect on how you feel. Volunteers also experience lower levels of depression.
6. Volunteering as a family is a great way to teach important lessons to your children. Kids are always learning from the example you set for them, so make sure it’s a good one!
7. By giving back to the community, you can lay the foundation for service in the years to come.
8. Volunteering gives you the opportunity explore new skills and interests that you might not get to enjoy otherwise. You can broaden your horizons while helping others at the same time.
