Contributing to your community comes in lots of different opportunities and with a lot of rewards. Whether it’s local or online, the people we are kind to and support form a safety net for each of us that can drive away anxiety, and potentially give us the stability we need to make our lives great.
Volunteering can not only support us and others, but can be great fun. Meeting new people, doing new things, or just staying active adds spice to life and keeps us going. We can gain confidence, relationship skills like teamwork, leadership skills, and problem-solving skills, and empower ourselves and others.
A healthy, thriving community can make a great difference in the world, too. The less each of us struggles to survive the more we are freed to contribute, and build humanity into a species that nurtures our planet, life, and beauty.
