Reviews

Gr 7 Up--These titles will answer YAs' questions about what to expect when they volunteer. Each book begins with the same summary of teen volunteerism statistics, and then focuses on what it takes to work in a specific field. Ryan describes some of the projects young people have taken on, from helping to design exhibits at a natural history museum to riding along on a fire truck, and explains how both the teens and the organizations can benefit. Contact names and phone numbers are appended. The tone is uniformly upbeat, emphasizing the benefits of volunteering and only briefly touching on potential problems or frustrations. Unfortunately, the black-and-white photographs are of inconsistent quality, and more of the interviews are with adult coordinators than with the teens themselves. Still, readers who need a general summary of volunteer opportunities will find these books helpful, as will those who live where community service is required for high school graduation.
