Every day, colleges and universities provide college students -- who represent a large and growing source of the nation's volunteers -- with opportunities to deliver valuable services to communities across the country. Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the nation has witnessed a significant upsurge in volunteers, particularly among this demographic.

Soul of a Citizen
Author: Paul Rogat LoebPublisher: St. Martin's Griffin
ISBN: 1429934077
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
Soul of a Citizen awakens within us the desire and the ability to make our voices heard and our actions count. We can lead lives worthy of our convictions. A book of inspiration and integrity, Soul of a Citizen is an antidote to the twin scourges of modern life--powerlessness and cynicism. In his evocative style, Paul Loeb tells moving stories of ordinary Americans who have found unexpected fulfillment in social involvement. Through their example and Loeb's own wise and powerful lessons, we are compelled to move from passivity to participation. The reward of our action, we learn, is nothing less than a sense of connection and purpose not found in a purely personal life. Soul of a Citizen has become the handbook for budding social activists, veteran organizers, and anybody who wants to make a change—big or small—in the world around them. At this critical historical time , Paul Loeb's completely revised edition—and inspiring message—is more urgently important than ever.
African Americans and Community Engagement in Higher Education
Author: Stephanie Y. EvansPublisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438428758
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
This book discusses race and its roles in university-community partnerships. The contributors take a collaborative, interdisciplinary, and multiregional approach that allows students, agency staff, community constituents, faculty, and campus administrators an opportunity to reflect on and redefine what impact African American identity—in the academy and in the community—has on various forms of community engagement. From historic concepts of "race uplift" to contemporary debates about racialized perceptions of need, they argue that African American identity plays a significant role. In representing best practices, recommendations, personal insight, and informed warnings about building sustainable and mutually beneficial relationships, the contributors provide a cogent platform from which to encourage the difficult and much-needed inclusion of race in dialogues of national service and community engagement.
