Volunteering. So you want to get out there and do something? Help someone in need, make a difference, change the world? There are numerous volunteering opportunities out there. Did you know that volunteering can help you land a job or get into a better college? Or that kids your age—or even younger—have started their own successful service projects and made a huge difference in their communities? Figuring out just how to get involved can be tough. But this book offers lots of great tips on where to volunteer and how to get the most out of the experience. You'll discover:

  • how to boost your resume and your college applications through volunteer work.
  • how to start your own service project.
  • what it takes to become an activist.
  • how to contact your legislators to tell them what's important to you.

        Gr 8 Up-This subset in the "USA Today Teen Wise Guides" series provides suggestions and strategies to help young adults stay safe or improve life skills. Both authors use friendly, conversational styles, resulting in narratives that are straightforward and readable, with key facts and tips highlighted so readers can easily find the main points. Reprints of articles and graphs from the pages of USA Today reinforce main ideas or provide additional information. Health and Safety offer standard tips readily available in many other formats and preexisting sets. The topics fall into the "for-your-own-good" category, making teen interest unlikely. Communication and Volunteering cover topics not always addressed in classes and could be useful investments.
