It makes it easy for kids to get involved with the organizations that mean the most to them. The perfect graduation gift -- a must-have for kids everywhere!
"No matter how grand or small the offering, the author stresses the intrinsic and tangible rewards of giving. Sidebars present tips on getting started, checklists for fundraising, positive quotes from teen volunteers, and blurbs on historical nonprofit successes like the March of Dimes. A helpful and lengthy annotated directory of well-established charities is arranged by category ("People," "Animals," and "The Environment") and ranges from Adopt-a-Minefield to the Wilderness Society. Each entry explains the organization's mission, describes how donations are used and monies spent, presents pertinent facts, and provides contact information.... The increasing school emphasis on community service and global awareness makes Zeiler's title a valuable, consciousness-raising resource." --Gerry Larson, School Library Journal
