Advance praise for Giving from Your Heart, A Guide to Volunteering:

Giving from Your Heart, A Guide to Volunteering is an excellent book to help motivate people of all generations and walks of life to engage in volunteer service. The book is a terrific guide for getting started, with educational and entertaining information, as well as real-life stories that provide powerful inspiration. Especially helpful for Baby Boomers—our largest rising population of volunteers…”
Michelle Nunn, President and CEO, Hands On Network

Giving from Your Heart is inspired and inspiring—at once a wonderful resource recognizing ordinary Americans doing extraordinary work and a roadmap for all of us to become more engaged in the life of our communities.”
Marc Freedman, author of Prime Time: How Baby Boomers Will Revolutionize Retirement and Transform America

“In Giving from Your Heart, Bob Rosenberg and Guy Lampard provide us with unique insight and inspiration about the value of sharing through volunteering. Their inspirational stories and logical approach to effective volunteering will help to illuminate a path toward satisfying and effective experiences.”
—from the Foreword by Robert K. Goodwin, CEO, Points of Light Foundation

The authors have gifted Giving from Your Heart, A Guide to Volunteering to Volunteer For Good, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to educate, inspire and assist in connecting people with volunteering.
