the many sides of volunteering
most people agree that volunteering is a positive experience. volunteers give back to the community, provide meaningful assistance to people in need, and use their experience and skills to improve the quality of life for others. however, the rewards of volunteering are not only based on giving. in fact, the act of volunteering may be even more beneficial to volunteers themselves than to the people they support.
volunteers are individuals who choose to provide assistance in many areas, from working with senior citizens, to walking dogs at the shelter, to building homes for the homeless. volunteers are from all walks of life, but many work or go to school full time and arrange their busy schedules to work with others early mornings, evenings, or weekends. some would argue that volunteering adds significant stress to already hectic lives. interestingly, studies show that volunteering actually reduce stress, because individuals who volunteer report feeling a greater sense of purpose and self-worth. this happens because volunteers build strong social relationships that carry them through challenging times. the act of others and making a difference actually enhances their life experience. as a result, research demonstrates that people who volunteer have lower mortality rates, better physical health, and lower rates of depression later in life than those who do not volunteer. given this, it would appear that volunteering is an excellent way to combat stress!
