Customer Reviews

Great book!

I bought an $80.00 book before I bought this one, because the title made me believe that I was getting all the info I needed in one book. Well I wasted that $80.00 because it is very hard to read. So, I finally bought this book...Volunteers Wanted. This book has given me more information than the $80.00 one did. I wish I had bought this book first.

What a help this book was

I learned many things from this book. I was surprisedat the great points and information this book had to offer.I recommend that any officer of a organization give this book a try and see how it helps you. What a resource and I enjoyed it very much. Just trying to get new members in our organization is difficult and this book offered many ways to do that.

Every volunteer organization needs this book

As a person who has been trying to give my time and talent to a large northwestern organization for the last six months, I highly recommend this reading to their volunteer coordinators. They have successfully made very mistake Rusin points out in this excellent book. It should be required reading!

A must for those dealing with volunteers

Working with volunteers can be a most challenging yet gratifying struggle. Jo Rusin's book puts in writing the secrets of recruiting, training, motivating, and retaining volunteers. This is a great book, one I know will prove highly successful. It came through when I really needed this information.

Excellent advice for those working with volunteers

I haven't always known the best way to approach volunteers, and this book provides some excellent ways to help me mazimize their talents. It is easy to read and has a good flow and logic, asks some tough questions yet provides possible solutions. I found the book filled with humor and I highly recommend that if you have to recruit volunteers, or work with them, this book will get you going down the right path.
