Volunteers in Action (Hardcover)
Volunteers in Action captures the spirit of a cross-section of the 80 million volunteers in America today whose interests and impact extend from neighborhoods to the ozone layer and beyond — covering almost every area of human endeavor. Through heart-rending stories, citations, and testimonials, the authors illustrate the roles and impact of ordinary citizens and how their dedication to voluntary action enriches and empowers themselves, their communities, and the nation.
While providing insights into the true dimension of the voluntary sector, Volunteers in Action serves also as a call to arms, urging citizens to get involved in this unique form of participatory democracy. Volunteers in Action evokes the compassion, spirit and power of the voluntary sector in America, illustrating with clarity and precision the ways that volunteers can and do make a difference. Essential reading for those who write, study, speak about, or participate in voluntary activities. September 1989
