The Chicago Nightingales was founded by a group of people who share the same passion of service to humanity. A group of enthusiastic, high spirited and caring individuals who find fulfillment in sharing their talents and capabilities in making other's lives more meaningful. Inspired by philanthropic deeds of Florence Nightingale, these individuals are in a mission to serve the community in every way possible. "Volunteering is generally considered an altruistic activity where an individual or group provides services for no financial gain. Volunteering is also renowned for skill development, and is often intended to promote goodness or to improve human quality of life. Volunteering may have positive benefits for the volunteer as well as for the person or community served. Volunteering has the ability to improve the quality of life and health of those who donate their time and research has found that older adults will benefit the most from volunteering. Physical and mental ailments plaguing older adults can be healed through the simple act of helping others; however, one must be performing the good deed from a selfless nature. There are barriers that can prevent older adults from participating in volunteer work, such as socio-economic status, opinions held by others, and even current health issues. However, these barriers can be overcome so that if one would like to be involved in volunteer work they can do so. Volunteering improves not only the communities in which one serves, but also the life of the individual who is providing help to the community”. In 2016, the Chicago Nightingales organization did a myriad of volunteer activities and initiated programs that sought others to volunteer with a clear vision of creating a better world one community at a time.
