Volunteering improves the health, happiness, and in some cases, the longevity of volunteers. Even unwilling children who are forced to volunteer fare better than kids who don’t volunteer. And in a virtuous circle, communities with lots of volunteers are more stable and better places to live, which in turn further boosts volunteerism. – Philip Moeller, U.S.News
