How ordinary citizens dedicated to service can change the face
of America's most critical issues
What if the nation were able to capitalize on the energy of
Americans willing to serve and volunteer for a year or more? This
inspirational book tells the stories of real people who have
dedicated themselves to service and the nonprofits that engaged
them. It shows how selflessness and service have transformed lives
and communities, and can address similar problems throughout the
country. The author profiles successes, demonstrates measurable
effects, and shows how impact is made. This book describes how we
can achieve change, through action at both the community and
organizational level.
* Filled with illustrative examples and key lessons
* Highlights programs such as Teach for America, City Year, and
Community Health Corps
* Shows how nonprofits can create successful service programs to
tackle different issues
The book shows what America would look like if programs like
these operated at scale across the country not just in one or two
neighborhoods, but wherever they were needed.
