Reviews

This book presents the combined efforts of a diverse group of students, scholars, and practitioners who write about volunteer programs across a dozen countries. The book’s central and enormously important theme is about the impact of civic engagement. There’s something here for everyone. Practitioners and students will enjoy the fresh voices and the first-hand, candid descriptions of volunteer program outcomes. Scholars will find these 17 chapters, given their breadth, offer considerable food for thought in the design of future impact research. -- Beth Gazley, Indiana University-Bloomington Based on research papers presented at a conference and supplemented by chapters by experts in the field, this collection makes a valuable contribution to our knowledge of national service and volunteerism. With its roots in both research and practice, the book has relevance for scholars, practitioners, policy makers, and students.   -- Jeffrey L. Brudney, Betty and Dan Cameron Family Distinguished Professor, University of North Carolina Wilmington
