Voluntarism, Community Life, and the American Ethic (Philanthropic and Nonprofit Studies)
by Robert S. Ogilvie
"In this study of volunteers at the Partnership for the Homeless in New York City, Robert S. Ogilvie examines why people volunteer and what motivates them to stick with it. He describes, in the volunteers' own voices and through his own experience as director of volunteers, how participants become integrated into the Partnership's program and how the environment of the shelters connects people to one another and to sources of meaning and power. Voluntarism, Community Life, and the American Ethic provides a step-by-step analysis of the elements that contribute to a successful volunteer program."--BOOK JACKET.
