Volunteering is such a beautiful way to benefit others and yourself at the same time. Not only do you get to work with a group of passionate community members, volunteering actually connects you with so many more people than you might not normally connect with! It’s very important for an individual’s sense of purpose and belonging as it ties you to your core values. Volunteering is also greatly beneficial for your emotional and mental health as it is known to counteract stress, depression, and anxiety! Not only do you leave a positive impact on your community, you also give yourself to the chance to further grow as a person.
