Volunteer For Good - Giving from Your Heart, A Guide to Volunteering

Mentoring has given me a feeling that I’ve made a difference in someone else's life. There is a certain amount of peacefulness that goes along with that... I used to get upset a lot more, and now I have a pretty balanced life.

Giving from Your Heart, A Guide to Volunteering

Dr. Bob Rosenberg and Guy Lampard

Foreword by Robert K. Goodwin, CEO, Points of Light Foundation

If you have ever thought about making a difference this is a must-read. Many people have considered volunteering but they simply don’t know how to get started. In Giving from Your Heart, A Guide to Volunteering co-authors Dr. Bob Rosenberg and Guy Lampard share their expertise about the numerous volunteer opportunities available today.

Although we hear about volunteers serving their communities, until now there has not been a resource for others who want to know where to go and who to ask about a volunteer activity right for them. By inspiring as well as educating, Giving from Your Heart provides the down to earth information for anyone considering volunteering. From determining one’s desired level of involvement to establishing realistic expectations, Rosenberg and Lampard offer practical information that will help make the connection.

“Giving from Your Heart, A Guide to Volunteering is a valuable resource for anyone considering enriching their life through service to others.”

Jimmy Carter

39th President of the United States

"I have often said that any definition of a successful life must include service to others. This book presents the prospective volunteer with a clear picture of how to make that service count, not only for the recipient of the service but also for the volunteer."

George Bush

41st President of the United States

Honorary Chairman, Points of Light Foundation
