Family Serve: Volunteer Opportunities for Families

Winner of a 2002 NAPPA Honors Award. "Family Serve will show your family how to plan suitable volunteer activities, locate a worthwhile project and get the most out of helping others. Family Serve is timely instruction for parents who want to teach their children values by demonstration, not lecture, and who want to enjoy spending time with their children while helping others. And Family Serve is one of the best designed, most colorful and attractive guidebooks you will ever see." Steve McCurley, national consultant on volunteerism. Does your family's time together consist of gulped-down sandwiches in the car on the way to softball practice? Do you wish you all had more time together? Family Serve: Volunteer Opportunities for Families helps readers and their families learn where and how to get started volunteering, providing a variety of examples of places and people that can benefit from their involvement--the environment, the homeless, animals the physically and mentally challenged and many more. The book also includes the names and contact information for more than 50 national organizations to direct readers to the right resources in their own communities.Thoele, Mary is the author of 'Family Serve: Volunteer Opportunities for Families' with ISBN 9781931380010 and ISBN 1931380015.
