National service and volunteerism enjoy a rich history in the
United States and an emergent future in other parts of the world.
However, there remains relatively scant evidence of overall impact
of national service programs and volunteer effectiveness. This
condition continues to threaten national service and volunteer
programs with the risk of defunding and/or the risk of not
investing sufficiently from the start. This book brings together a
selection of diverse chapters written by a combination of
academicians, students, and practitioners from three countries and
across multiple states in the United States. Each chapter
approaches its topic uniquely but links with all others in
identifying the impacts of service and volunteerism for volunteers,
for beneficiaries of service, for the institution of volunteering,
and/or for whole communities. The book is divided in five sections:
(1) developing volunteer initiatives to achieve impact, (2) impact
for and by youth volunteers, (3) impact in social or policy areas,
specifically economy and financial success, education, and
emergency response, (4) international perspectives with focus on
Chile, Venezuela, the United Kingdom, and the post-communist states
of Lithuania and Romania, and (5) conclusion with summary and
suggestions for future research and practice.
