Too few Americans volunteer annually. This inspirational book speaks to all members of the community, from grade-school students to senior citizens, and everyone in between. It identifies five primary motivations for volunteering, and will:

- Encourage people who already volunteer to keep up the good work.

- Entice those who have been postponing their volunteer adventures to start today.

- Present workable solutions to practical issues that get in the way of good intentions.

- Advocate implementing a volunteerism component to the public school curriculum.

- Provide an extensive list of resources that will help volunteers find opportunities that are ideally suited to their personal interests and lifestyles.

Filled with pearls of wisdom on the topic from historical figures, philosophers, celebrities and literary greats, the book also features inspirational quotes from volunteers who participated in a nationwide survey.
