• Stay healthy.

Give Back To Society

Some people volunteer because they now have time to do what they want to do, rather than what they have to do. Some volunteer to share their good fortune while others give their time in gratitude for what they have received.

Enhance Your Health and Well Being

In a study commissioned by Volunteer Canada, Manulife Financial and Health Canada, Dr. Neena Chappell, Director of the Centre on Aging, University of Victoria, examined the links between volunteering and health. Dr. Chappell concluded, "People who give their time to a volunteer activity, especially if it involves helping others, are happier and healthier in their later years." In addition she suggests, "volunteering is a peopleto- people business. A lot of benefit comes from being in touch with others and having an impact on their lives."

"Volunteerism has little to do with being a ‘do-gooder.’ It is about... self-esteem and freely sharing one’s talent and wisdom; being valued, not paid; empowerment, growth and creativity; enhancing the community’s quality of life. It is also about having fun in the process." Michael L. Hadley
