This is an excellent resource for anyone working with youth and young adults, especially those in the non-profit field. The book provides ideas, helpful hints, and most importantly empowers youth to help their community.

All of the ideas are well thought out. Many of the activities can be altered, simplified, or enhanced depending on your goals.

There are very helpful hints on how to create press releases, flyers, public service announcements, etc. This is a helpful guide for youth and a great resource for adults.

I recommend this book to anyone who works with youth and young adults that are committed to helping others.

This book was very helpful to me as I explained to my daughter about being a good person of service. The project ideas seem to relate well to the interest of kids and many can be done by the kids themselves. Other projects will require adult help.

I think this book is very good. As we read through the book, my daughter had many questions, as well as suggestions and modifications for certain projects. It was very thought provoking and inspiring.

This is a quick and easy to read book, equally valuable for parents, teachers and kids. It's absolutely filled with fantastic ideas, some of which can be implemented almost immediatly, while some will take a bit longer. Great resource for teaching responsibility and community service!

This is an excellent book for both parents and kids and even teachers.
There are lots of ideas for everyone and the nice thing about it is that this book is easy to read and understand.
We need more books like this one.
Hats off to the author.

This book provides ideas for students, teachers and parents who want to make a difference but are not sure where to start.

I am using this book to give my students ideas on what they can do to make a difference in our community.

This is an excellent resource book that contains a ton of ideas and numerous service project/outreach categories. Although the title says "Kid's Guide" - the ideas in the book are great for teen/youth ministries also. The ideas can be used to replace or supplement VBS service projects that usually come with the VBS curriculum. A great way to get young people involved in serving. I love it - it's a resource that will be used a many years.
