Medicine for the Soul: Volunteering
Volunteering is often framed as an act of generosity — a gift of time offered to others in need.
But what is less often acknowledged is how deeply it gives back to the giver. In a time marked by stress, isolation, and civic division, volunteering may be one of the most underutilized forms of medicine for the human soul. It restores purpose, fosters connection, and strengthens the fabric of our democracy.
