Have You Ever Experienced "Volunteer’s High?"
You’ve probably heard about "runner’s high" … but what about "volunteer’s high?" Is there such a thing?
I think I sensed it in Ecumen’s Home Office recently when Ecumen colleague Linda Willard shared at our all-employee meeting the personal reflection above about the volunteer work she does at the care center at Ecumen’s Parmly LifePointes community in Chisago City, Minn.
Richard Adler wrote an article several years ago posted here at Civic Ventures about research that highlights the positive effects of volunteering on life quality and aging, especially in older adults. Volunteer’s High - it’s a good thing.
