Volunteers Live Longer!

American Geriatrics Society says seniors who volunteer outlive non-volunteers! And amazingly their follow-up finds 12 % deaths among elderly volunteers versus 26 % in non-volunteers.

So you may not be a senior, or consider yourself a senior, but this research shows that it is beneficial to your health to volunteer.

Girl Scouts has a wide variety of volunteering opportunities! From long term events, like being a troop leader, to short term occasions working with the new Journeys Program.

If you are interested in giving of your time and talent to help build girls of courage, confidence and character contact us at 800.727.8104 to get plugged in!
