Volunteerism

Hello!

We hope you enjoyed your panels today. We'd like to focus the class discussion, however, on the first fifteen minutes of class. Please respond to Ivan Illich's essay "To Hell With Good Intentions" and to the brief conversation we had in class. You might also talk about the other reading we sent out in your email yesterday or any of the Recommended Readings under the "Volunteerism" section.

We are very impressed with the degree of maturity and understanding you displayed in class today, and can't wait to continue to the discussion on the blog.

The Non-Profit Industry and the Volunteer Contribution

Today we heard from Dr. Kala Stroup about a brief history of the non-profit industry, the volunteer impact, and potential careers in the field of non-profit work. Comment briefly on her presentation, on Erin Fleming's story, or
on the reading from Shelly Cryer's Nonprofit Career Guide.

In 2010, almost 63 million people volunteered their time in the United States. Wow!

We hope you had fun in class today, we sure did!
