What do you think about the volunteering in older people?

You’re welcome.

It’s really helpful, thank you!

Volunteering is an excellent way for older adults to stay active, use their minds, and share their expertise to benefit the community in a variety of ways—whether on a local, state, or national level. Profiles of those who volunteer indicate that they are in better health, have higher education levels, and are more physically active than older adults who do not volunteer. Volunteering provides a community response to the changing roles and responsibilities of the state and civil society whereby NPOs (non-profit organizations), community groups, family members and individual volunteers take on a more central role in meeting the needs of people aging in place.
