Volunteering can increase perceived self-efficacy, self-esteem, and positive affect, which all can result in enhanced psychological health. Volunteering leads to the opportunity for social interaction or networking many times with individuals with whom you normally would not interact.

The association between volunteering and greater health and happiness is a definite plus to volunteering in a professional organization such as the ARHP.
