It will serve as an important reference for professionals, teachers, and administrators who are involved in the \"business\" of human services and require concrete information on how to develop effective volunteer programs to bridge the widening gap between services and needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors use their particular program as an empirical blueprint for principles undergirding the successful use of volunteers as extensions of professional social service staff. The case-aide handbook appended to the volume provides a \"quick prescription\" formula for how this volunteer program was made viable and how these techniques can be adapted to other programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the new and enlarged edition of \u003cem\u003eThe New Volunteerism\u003c\/em\u003e, the authors tell about \"whatever happened to...\" the case aides in their program, based on the responses to a questionnaire they designed and mailed to 100 of these men and women. Models for Volunteer\/Professional Partnerships are defined and illustrated with creative and innovative volunteer programs reviewed by Feinstein and Cavanaugh. These programs serve many different populations, including: alcoholics, the elderly, the mentally ill, the retarded, abusive parents, and the terminally ill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Cavanaugh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1412806852\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781412806855\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.78h x 6.40w x 0.46d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2008 pg. 96","brand":"Catherine Cavanaugh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065547665663,"sku":"9781412806855","price":61.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ad28785-3cb0-475e-9aaf-c033ffc5f052.jpg?v=1768675689","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-new-volunteerism-catherine-cavanaugh-9781412806855","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
