BackPac - Social Activism

Why Volunteer:
Research has shown that regular volunteering promotes strong emotional and physical health. Volunteering allows you to directly strengthen your community by encouraging people to work together and solve pressing problems. As positive interactions increase, social capital can flow freely creating trust, empathy, and change - lifting societies to become prosperous and productive.

The Reality:
Fewer Americans are engaging in their community by volunteering and giving than in any time in the recent past. Cities with the most volunteer decline were prevalent in states with 1) low reserves of social capital 2) metro areas with higher socioeconomic distress.

Join the Pac:
