Psychological benefits of Voluntary work

Abstract

Participating in volunteer activities is widely acknowledged as a manifestation of humanitarianism, encapsulating numerous social and ethical advantages. The impact of such initiatives goes beyond simply assisting others and improving their situations; volunteers themselves also stand to benefit greatly. Volunteering can play a pivotal role in enhancing individuals' psychological and emotional wellness, thereby adding depth to their lives and outlook. As a result, this article will focus on three key elements through which volunteer work can yield positive impacts: social skills, behavioural deviations, and quality of life.
