Dalla quarta di copertina:

Teens generally volunteer their time because they want to-- even with high school and college requirements. But teen idealism, joined with youthful energy and enthusiasm, often isn't enough to make volunteering the best experience possible. Teens (and their parents) often need guidance. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Volunteering for Teens features tips and advice for finding out what's available, how to find the opportunities, what will be expected and what are the next steps if volunteering becomes more than a part-time activity.
