It’s a proven fact that helping out feels good (unless you are one of those who look ahead, without caring about the periphery). Volunteering increases self-confidence, self-esteem, and life satisfaction.

If we add to that the fact that at a certain age we have more and more free time and life experience, perhaps volunteering becomes a good way to contribute your knowledge and realize that all the learning that life has given you has suddenly become USEFUL.

In an increasingly unequal world, selflessly giving a little of your free time is a good idea that also brings unsuspected benefits:

• It helps you to stay physically and mentally active.
• It reduces depression and stress.
• It can help you increase your social relationships.
• If you choose international volunteering, it allows you to travel in an enriching way.

We strongly recommend that you volunteer with proven partnerships.

There are plenty of them. For those of you who don’t know where to start, check out the United Nations website: https://www.unv.org/become-online-volunteer

There are many interesting projects, divided by country and theme, to apply to.
