Format:Hardcover
I read this book because the author, Mark Winfield, is well known in our community of Lunenburg for his volunteer efforts. I do not know Mark personally, but the content of this book shows the passion behind his efforts, which is probably why they have been so successful. I think young volunteers would benefit from reading this book because it builds a great foundation for getting involved in your community. It gives step-by-step instructions on running meetings and events and describes the various roles volunteer organizations can play in our society. I never would have thought about an intramural sports league as a volunteer effort, but when you read the book, you can see how these types of endeavors can benefit and strengthen your community. I would highly recommend this book to parents and teachers that want to give students that extra push to get involved.
