Volunteering

Eddie's book on Volunteering

I recently wrote a book on volunteering, Essentials for Cultivating Passionate Volunteers and Leaders, that was inspired by the many volunteers I have worked with over the years. I wrote the book to support volunteers in meeting their goals and to create life affirming environments within organizations that support volunteers and help them reach their full potential. If you are a volunteer or know someone who is or who works with volunteers, I recommend the book. I also appreciate when you get the word out! Let's volunteer and make a difference in the world!

Volunteering is a way to partner with others who are like-minded and become a part of a community. I hope that you can find an organization or group to lock arms with for a worthy cause.

What I like the most about volunteering is that it allows me to contribute to the well-being of others. This is something that we all long to do at some level. We feel joy and happiness when we can help others.

There over 62 million volunteers in the United States according to the Corporation for National Community Service and there are many nonprofits to choose from to serve with (approximately 1.5 million).
