Stress and Community Service
The Volunteer Perspective
Stress can affect community engagement and volunteerism by influencing civic participation, shaping volunteer activities, and impacting community outreach. In the U.S., individuals may experience stress-related barriers to volunteering.
To support community service, practice stress management techniques such as volunteering with flexible commitments, self-care practices, and engaging in meaningful causes. Addressing stress enhances community involvement and fosters social impact through volunteer efforts.
