Benefits of Volunteering

Studies show that adults 55 and older who volunteer reported lower levels of disability and higher levels of overall well-being compared to those who did not volunteer. In addition to increasing one's independence and total sense of wellness, volunteering during retirement renews one's sense of purpose and provides new social engagement.
