Do You Volunteer? I often do voluntary service and always enjoy it and get to know many amazing people. Just last week, we helped organize a space for Fundacja Kocham Dębniki an incredible initiative in collaboration with EPAM Systems. Volunteering can positively influence our well-being 🙏 According to research, "Volunteerism is a key form of community involvement that can provide both physical and mental health benefits for volunteers as well as positive outcomes for the community. However, volunteers become involved for different reasons and recent studies suggest that other-oriented volunteers may accrue greater health benefits than self-oriented volunteers" (Stukas, A. A., Hoye, R., et al., 2016). Check it out for yourself 😎 https://lnkd.in/d6gV-Yas https://lnkd.in/dMTkYx2J #Volunteering #MentalHealth #CommunityService #SocialImpact #PersonalGrowth

When motivations are so personal, it’s impossible to ignore the impact; positive or negative of previous life experience on the volunteers we work with and what this means for their long term volunteering ambitions
