Publisher's summary

For many nonprofit organizations, volunteers have served a vital purpose in roles ranging from administrative to facility management. Recruitment and retention of volunteers has remained consistent over the past several decades. With an aging population and the reality of baby boomers entering the next phase of their lives, new ways of recruiting these mature, skilled individuals as volunteers are emerging.

Dr. Jesse Bolinger is a strong believer in rural communities and in volunteerism. Through his research, new ideas on the procurement and retention of volunteers have emerged. He presents a compelling case for how their past work experience, educational background, and mental health play a significant role in their selection for volunteer positions, and as a tool for retaining them in areas that best suit these three basic elements.

Nothing New Here

Just wasted 3 hours of my day. The title is a bit misleading to say the least. This was a boring read that mostly talked about stories of different volunteers. Author spent way too much time talking about himself and too much time rehashing Maslow's Theory and defining the different types of generations. Book did not give any new insight.

Probably better in text

Overall, this could be useful. Some of the learning research highlighted is not necessarily contemporary or as relevant as once thought, but some useful pearls in this one. I wish I had the text so as to reference some of the examples and artifacts referenced by the author as appendices.
