Volunteering

At AllyU Organization NFP, we believe in volunteerism, and not just because we are a nonprofit. We believe in volunteerism because research shows that there are innumerable benefits to not just those who receive help from volunteers, but also to those doing the volunteering.

Volunteering can:

  1. lower stress and risk of depression
  2. increase sense of self-worth
  3. forge connections with other people
  4. increase individuals’ trust in one another
  5. provide a sense of purpose
  6. teach valuable skills that can translate into employment
  7. help you stay mentally and physically active

As citizens of the world, we have a responsibility to support each other, and in the AllyU Organization NFP community, we practice that diligently.

How?

Some members volunteer financially or by offering up information about valuable resources or personal experiences. Others may serve as content monitors to keep an eye out for unhealthy or damaging posts, or for members who seem particularly at risk.

We want to provide our members the opportunity to strengthen themselves and each other through volunteerism, and will frequently post opportunities to do so.
