How will this opportunity benefit the volunteer?
Research suggests that volunteering provides many benefits to both mental and physical health. It helps counteract the effects of stress, anger, and anxiety, combats depression, tends to make people happier, increases self-confidence and provides a sense of purpose. In this regard, volunteers who decide to assist with this project will take away many benefits from the engagement initiative, they will also be contributing to reconciliation.
How will the organization benefit?
SDNR Community Engagement was founded at York University and the Schulich School of Business in 2013. Much of our community programming would not be possible without the meaningful support of our many volunteers. To this end, our organization not only benefits, many of our participants do as well. And this assists with building positive engagement which is an essential part of who we are.
