Training Volunteers for Community Service: The Step-by-Step Guide of the Shanti National Training Institute

By Charles Garfield and Carol Kleinmaier

Training Volunteers for Community Service is a step-by-step guide for creating a volunteer training program. The guide is based in an understanding of volunteers' primary motivations and offers trainees a uniquely rewarding training experience. The authors have adapted Shanti's acclaimed training design to be an effective tool when used by any community group.

"Any person involved in the training of volunteers will read, reread, and constantly refer to this text. Shanti has produced what will surely become the standard by which all subsequent books are measured. Well done!"
—Larry Drury, Executive Director, National Federation of Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers
