One of the most common things we hear about the volunteer experience is that they get so much more out of their work than they give. We also know that volunteering helps:

• Build new friendships
• Promote socialization
• Develop confidence
• Combat and reduce depression
• Develop new skills
• Keep folks physically and mentally fit
• Increase joy, happiness, life fulfillment
