Civic Work, Civic Lessons explains how and why people of all ages,
and particularly young people, should engage in public service as a
vocation or avocation. Its authors are 57 years apart in age, but
united in their passion for public service, which they term "civic
work." The book provides unique intergenerational perspectives.
Thomas Ehrlich spent much of his career in the federal government.
Ernestine Fu started a non-profit organization at an early age and
then funded projects led by youth. Both have engaged in many other
civic activities. An introductory chapter is followed by seven key
lessons for success in civic work. Each lesson includes a section
by each author. The sections by Ehrlich draw mainly from his
experiences. Those by Fu draw on her civic work and that of many
young volunteers whom the co-authors interviewed. The concluding
chapter focuses on leveraging technologies for civic work. All
profits received by the authors from the sale of this book will be
donated to philanthropic organizations.
