The Ultimate Volunteer Guidebook for Young People

Volunteering is one of the most educational, inspiring, and exciting things a person can do. Donating your time to a worthwhile cause offers substantial rewards that will enrich your life. Volunteering not only allows young people to learn new skills and discover talents they never knew they had, it teaches them the value of diversity and human relations. Young volunteers and their families need a fun, easy to understand, and enjoyable plan to get them going.

In The Ultimate Volunteer Guidebook for Young People, Christine Reyna Maxwell gives future volunteers and readers complete step-by-step directions on how to make a difference through volunteering. The book is divided into five sections with fifty sample activities for practicing volunteers, ranging from organizing donation drives and visiting a senior center to picking up litter and improving a local bird sanctuary. Each activity section displays how-to instructions, sample letters, thank-you notes, and fliers, all designed to maximize the volunteering effort. The Ultimate Volunteer Guidebook for Young People also teaches families how to take on new humanitarian projects that will build confidence and responsibility. There is no better time than the present to give back to your community, and the author shows us that you are never too young to volunteer.
