Scientists found that volunteering in schools or communities is connected with better health among children and teens. The study compared kids who took part in community service with those who didn’t. Kids who volunteered were 66% more likely to grow up healthily or do well. And kids aged 12 and older who volunteered were 25% less likely to have anxiety (焦虑). The findings come from a survey provided by the parents of some 50,000 kids in the United States aged 6 to 17.
