12. Improve your health! It is a scientific fact that doing good

     makes you feel good by releasing good hormones to the

     body and brain. The Corporation for National and Community

     Service says that volunteering has many health benefits.

-Volunteering can improve self-esteem, reduce heart rates and blood pressure, increase endorphin production, enhance immune systems, buffer the impact of stress, and combat social isolation. (Research Summary: Graff, L. (1991). Volunteer for the Health of it, Etobiocke, Ontario: Volunteer Ontario.)

-Volunteering lowers the risk of physical ill health because it boosts the social psychological factors that healthy people have. (The Effects of Volunteering on the Volunteer, John Wilson and Marc Musik, 62 Law & Contemp. Probs., Autumn 1999)

13. Volunteering provides valuable services so more money can

     be spent on caring for the injured and orphaned animals. The

     estimated dollar value of volunteer time for 2010 was $21.36

     per hour.

14. Volunteering is very valuable but costs you little.
