The holiday season is a time of year when our hearts are especially open to those in need.

There's a myriad of ways that we can help this world be a better place and help others live happier lives. In fact, all year round, opportunities exist to volunteer. For a few hours, a few days, or maybe more.

In the spirit of prosperity and happiness, I wanted to devote this podcast to the benefits of volunteering to everyone.

We reached out to the Montreal Volunteer Bureau to speak with consultant Caroline Tom, who has a lot of great information for people who are looking to get involved in volunteering.

• The benefits of volunteering for people who wish to volunteer. [02:01]
