> Volunteering improves inner character, builds community, cures
> poverty, and prevents crime. We've all heard this kind of
> empowerment talk from nonprofit and government-sponsored civic
> programs. But what do these programs really accomplish? In Making
> Volunteers, Nina Eliasoph offers an in-depth, humorous, wrenching,
> and at times uplifting look inside youth and adult civic programs.
> She reveals an urgent need for policy reforms in order to improve
> these organizations and shows that while volunteers learn important
> lessons, they are not always the lessons that empowerment programs
> aim to teach.
