I wouldn’t use the term activism as another poster did, but volunteerism has tremendous rewards. IMO forcing yourself into a commitment and then living up to it has great mental health advantages. You feel better about yourself, you make new connections and you help people.
In my experience, especially as your kids get older it is too easy to make your life all about yourself and your own interests.
