Asking for Help Is an Act of Resilience

“I need help.” Those three tiny words are a huge act of resilience. When teens volunteer and help out, they learn firsthand how good it feels to give. They’re not helping out of obligation or pity or to gain something from the other person. They give back because it feels good to know that they’re having a positive impact on someone’s life. This means that in times of need, those teens can ask for and take help without shame because they know the action of giving aid is someone else’s positive moment.
