During they
weekday, they are secretaries, stockbrokers, computer programmers
and factory workers at some of America’s largest companies.
After hours and on weekends, they are heroes in their communities,
working long and hard to educate inner-city children, feed the
homeless, comfort the sick, and clean up the environment.
David C. Forward
traveled around the country to speak with employee volunteers,
their coworkers and managers and tells their stories: WHY they
care enough to act, HOW to get involved in volunteerism, and the
benefits that come to the volunteers and their employers for their
many simple acts of kindness.

child, protect the environment, or rebuild a storm-damaged home
‘after hours.’” --- Senator Bill Bradley

and individuals and communities win. I encourage you to
read this book and follow these leaders.”--- Zig Ziglar
