As valuable as volunteer work is for students, the intangible benefits of giving back to your community will
still apply no matter your age or education level. Long after you graduate, you can benefit from putting in
volunteer hours. Here’s a look at some of the intangible rewards of serving as a volunteer.
It’s good for your soul - There is no question that volunteering is good for the soul. Taking time out of your
busy schedule to lend a hand to others in your community strengthens character, teaches humility and nurtures
the spirit.
It can boost your mental and emotional health - You probably won’t be shocked to hear that volunteering
is good for your mental and emotional health. Scientifically speaking, volunteering can increase levels of
dopamine in the brain, which induces those positive, feel-good emotions. As a result, people who volunteer may
be less likely to experience depression and anxiety.
It’s good for your physical health - Although it’s common knowledge that volunteering is good for your
spiritual and emotional health, it’s perhaps less well known that it’s also beneficial for your physical well-being.
An improvement in physical health may be due in part to the positive impacts on emotional health, although it
could also be attributed to the fact that many volunteer jobs require physical movement.

In addition to having positive effects on your health, volunteer work can expand your perspective. You’ll
meet new people, and you’ll get to know their life experiences and unique journeys. Lastly, volunteering can
help you move beyond your comfort zone, empowering you to grow as a person while you lend a hand to others.
True False
1. Volunteer work is only for students.
2. Lending a hand to others is a good way to strengthen character, and nurture the spirit.
3. You can improve your mental and physical health when doing volunteer work.
4. People who volunteer may be more likely to experience depression and anxiety.

Read the following passage and choose A, B or Cto indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Choosing to volunteer takes up some of your time. Some people say that they do not have time to help others,
so they don’t volunteer. But scientists say giving time to help others benefits us.
The first benefit of volunteering is that it helps us learn to be flexible. Volunteers have to be ready for changes
and stay flexible when solving problems. Second, volunteering can improve our health because it requires us to
be active. A report found that Americans who volunteer 100 hours or more a year are the healthiest people in the
country. Third, volunteers have opportunities to develop more relationships. They often work in teams, and team
members get to know each other and sometimes even become friends. Moreover, volunteers often help needy
people, so they may feel thankful for what they have. For these reasons, volunteers are generally positive and are
less likely to become depressed.
So if you have not joined a volunteer activity yet, think about it. You are likely to benefit from doing so.
