"Not only is volunteering a great way to get involved in your community and develop new connections, it also helps your own mental health and well-being. [Change to Chill's] sister program, Hello4Health, notes that those who volunteer experience many benefits, including:
- Increased overall happiness
- Reduced stress
- Improved physical health
- Learning new skills
- Finding a sense of purpose
- Developing new connections
All of this in addition to the good you're doing in your community and for the causes you care about!"
