Thriving Together is back with another episode. Kaitlyn and Ginny talk about Volunteerism! Volunteering can be a formal position with an organization or informal acts of kindness and can be short-term or on a recurring schedule, but regardless of the type or duration of volunteering, the mental and social health benefits seem to be the same.
