Volunteering is Sexy

The Issue

Volunteering is Sexy. When you give of yourself, you feel good. And when you feel good, you look good. After all, what could be more attractive than inner beauty? What's more, spreading the idea that volunteering is sexy is about setting our society and culture on the right path. Many would say that living a life of service is too idealistic, or non-essential to being happy. Lets disagree with them. Lets all of us commit to everyday attitudes, ideas, and actions that promote a community and culture that recognizes that volunteering - once in a while or every single day - is one of the best ways to be happy, healthy, and Sexy.
