Book excerpt: More than 70 percent of America's 60 million young people believe they can make a difference in their communities, and the numbers support their assertions.

Young people get a complete picture of what volunteering involves, including the personal commitment and the physical and emotional stamina, as well as the positive_and sometimes negative_consequences.

Volunteer opportunities also serve as a way for teens to explore potential interests for career areas. Coverage includes: -- Why volunteer? -- Opportunity descriptions -- what's available -- How to get prepared -- Deciding what you want -- group, solo, with adults, with kids, etc. -- How to find the volunteering opportunities in your interest area including online references -- from animal shelters to tutoring programs. -- Basic etiquette of volunteering -- Next steps -- what to do if you want to get more serious about volunteering (post-high school experiences, political internships, City Year, etc.)

People are in trouble, and they are turning to volunteer organizations in their communities and faiths for help. Millions of Americans—middle class, working class, professionals, and business executives—have experienced the loss of a job, a home, or a business, small farm failure, a personal bankruptcy, or a loss of pension or retirement income. And millions more are only a layoff, illness, divorce, or accident away from falling into poverty. But YOU can help! Make a Difference is a comprehensive collection of more than two hundred community service opportunities and experiences. More than a simple resource guide, this unique handbook includes interviews, anecdotes, and commentary from the top people in nonprofit and service fields. The book ties together the strands of volunteering, community service, and civic engagement. Blaustein focuses on two critical questions: “How did we get into this mess?” and “What can be done to turn things around?” His answer to these interconnected questions is volunteering, community service, civic engagement, and citizen participation. They are good for you, vital to those being served, and healthy for your community and our country. Here’s what YOU can do to help!
