Why should you volunteer?

Volunteering connects you with your community and empowers you to make a real difference. Whether you're helping those in need or supporting a cause you're passionate about, every second you dedicate to volunteering can create positive change. Also, volunteering is good for you! Did you know that compared to non volunteers, volunteers tend to have lower rates of depression, higher self esteem, higher life satisfaction, increased happiness, and a greater sense of meaning in life? At NYCVolunteer, we believe that everyone has the power to impact lives, whether it's their own or another person's!
