Synopsis
The first book to specifically address the relationship between social work and volunteers, Social Work with Volunteers examines the current shift in social welfare services and the growing need to develop effective partnerships with volunteers. As the primary profession in the development, provision, and evaluation of social services, social workers are in a position to shape how agency administrators, direct staff, and volunteers work together to provide services. Using the groundbreaking Context-Specific Optimal Partnership (CSOP) model, the author demonstrates how social workers in all areas of practice can work with volunteers to create a positive change.

Review
This groundbreaking text provides a new and innovative perspective on the evolving relationship between social work and the volunteer sector. A must read for anyone interested in macro practice. --David R. Hodge, Arizona State University
I see this text as essential adjunctive material for mezzo social work practice as well as macro community development... It's a good read - very informative, historical, theoretical, and pragmatic. --Fred R. McKenzie, Aurora University
