There are wonderful advantages to volunteering as a senior – especially now, when life is challenging for so many. Not only are you giving back to your community, but studies have shown that those who volunteer may even experience an improvement in their mental health!

Virtual volunteers are just as appreciated (and just as necessary!) as those who volunteer in person.
