This book is a great follow up for your New Years Resolutions. Jahner-Byrne outlines in a simplistic and engaging manner the "how to's" of volunteering and getting involved in LIFE! She redefines failure as success turned inside out.In the volunteer victories section I was interested in her choices of story lines. The three individuals profiled come from different walks of life and offer a different reason for becoming involved in their communities. It is a gentle reminder to get involved in our own community and become richer for it.This is an easy read. It's so very nice to read an inspiration book that helps us in our civic and professional lives. Get a head in your business, personal life, professional and volunteer work. If you need resources the write offers many in the last section along with websites. I thought this was a terrific read.
A good book to read and pass along.

The book is simple and written for all ages. I would have liked to have read more about the author's exciting experiences and the not-so-exciting volunteer adventures. The reference section has many ideas for a start in your own community no matter what your interests are.

Volunteer for Life is a neat book. I was at an event recently where the author spoke about achieving goals. The book reveals a goal setting exercise that's helpful. She is an eloquent speaker with a message that is timely! The book is interesting, fun and thought provoking as well as helpful in finding a match for a new volunteer organization to apply your time. I was pleasantly reminded that volunteering SHOULD be fun and CAN be truly rewarding. I will use the reference guide to find a new opportunity to serve my community. We could all use a little more service in our lives and our communities will benefit!
