The Give-Back Revolution captures today's groundswell of goodwill, sounds an engaging call to action, and chronicles stories of those on the leading edge of the give-back movement."Authored by social change leader Susan Skog, this book demonstrates the amazing impact everyday volunteers can have, whether abroad or in our own backyards. Skog shows readers how to choose the best give-back strategy for them, whatever their time, talents, and resources, demonstrating that helping others reach for a new day rejuvenates us in ways that another margarita-soaked vacation can't begin to."Packed with information on worthwhile organizations and destinations and dozens of volunteers' give-back stories, this book provides details on opportunities as diverse as:

• Organizing an office book drive
• Working in a Kenyan orphanage
• Dancing to raise money for fighting malaria
• Building schools in Belize on a volunteer vacation
• Inviting friends over for a dinner that benefits the hungry
• Visiting the Amazon and support sustainable rainforests
• Clearing trails in America's wilderness
• Cleaning up rivers in your own backyard
• Micro-bankrolling an African entrepreneur climbing out of poverty
• Using your 9-to-5 experience to teach business skills, in your community or online

Part down-to-earth research guide, part inspiration, part socially conscious call to service, The Give-Back Revolution captures the renewal of idealism and hope sweeping our country.
