People choose to volunteer for a variety of reasons. For some it offers the chance to give something back to their community or make a difference to the people around them. For others it provides an opportunity to develop new skills or build on existing experience and knowledge. But did you know, according to a study in Social Science and Medicine, helping others kindles happiness? When researchers at the London School of Economics examined the relationship between volunteering and the measures of happiness in a large group of American adults, they found the more people volunteered, the happier they were.

Here at YWCA Central Carolinas, we value our volunteers and know you are an essential partner in helping deliver our programs and services.
