1. Reduce Stress
Every college student knows the feeling of being loaded down with endless projects, papers and material to study. Learning how to manage your stress level is difficult for many people in college. Whether you take a break from your studies to volunteer for an hour at a Volunteer Tuesday event or you go out of your way to talk to a classmate who seems lonely, you may be surprised how much you could reduce the stress from your academics.

2. When you make someone's day, your day will be made too.
When you see the smile on someone's face, that smile is a realization that YOU just made a difference in somebody's life. For those of you who have gone out of your way to make a difference in others' lives, I think you'd agree you also make a difference in your own life. Believe it or not, making someone's day just ONCE, will make a powerful impact on your day and your entire life.
3. Everyone needs a break
The truth is your brain needs a break every once in awhile. No matter how busy you are, it's important to take a break from your studies. This break could be an hour, a day, or maybe a week such as spring break, but no matter what finding a place to volunteer or help others is the perfect thing to do when you need a break from your studies.

4. The reward will be greater than the risk.
Think you found a neat volunteer opportunity, but you're nervous to pursue it alone? Stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to amazing experiences. You may meet some new friends or possibly find your true calling, but either way it's worth the risk to make a difference in the life of someone who needs it.
5. It's just the right thing to do.
We have been lucky enough to be born and raised in a place where we are fortunate to have more than we need. Unfortunately, not everyone is as fortunate as we are. It's our job to take a stand and do what's right. Volunteer for a nonprofit organization, help a friend or help a stranger; whatever you do, you are MAKING A DIFFERENCE.
