Volunteering can benefit you for life – from health to career goals Volunteering offers numerous benefits, not only to the recipients but also to the volunteers themselves. Let’s start with mental health – volunteering reduces stress, anxiety, and depression through social connection and purposeful activity. It also boosts mood and self-esteem by providing a sense of accomplishment.
