The Development of Community Engagement from Infancy to Adulthood
uses a developmental perspective to trace how individuals develop
the cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and moral capacity to be
actively engaged in their communities. It also provides an analysis
of the role of volunteerism and civic engagement in an era of
social division, shrinking budgets, and shrinking services. In
order to support childhood and adolescent volunteerism, we must
understand how children become adults who volunteer a lot,
sometimes, or not at all. This book describes the development of
volunteerism from theoretical, empirical, and practical viewpoints,
starting from the earliest development of empathy, through the
social institutions that help shape us, to adolescence and young
adulthood. It concludes with an analysis of modern ways to engage
young citizens in social action. In doing so it addresses the key
question - how can we encourage and support the development of the
behaviors, belief systems, and ecologies that will lead to
volunteerism and community involvement in our citizens? With fresh
and thought-provoking arguments and insights, this book will be of
interest to all academics and students working within the fields of
social work, social services, volunteer management, applied social
psychology, community psychology, service learning, and sociology,
as well as non-profit personnel and activists.
