Loneliness is on the rise worldwide, with 25% more Americans feeling isolated today than before the pandemic. The World Health Organization has even recognized loneliness as a global public health concern, linking it to higher risks of depression, heart disease, and early death—comparable to the dangers of smoking or obesity. But there is hope: volunteering has emerged as a powerful, yet often overlooked, solution. Volunteers play an important role in bolstering social connections and adding to the safety net that helps people feel cared for. In delivering services and solutions to problems, they also provide a sense of optimism and hope and create a visible pathway for others to engage.
Join our upcoming webinar to discover expert insights and proven programs that have been developed to combat loneliness. Register now to learn how you adopt and scale these inspiring practices for your organization!
