How to Transform Volunteers Into Social Activists

Tuesday, May 25, at noon U.S. Eastern time

How can organizations inspire volunteers to become more involved in a charitable mission?

That is a tricky question for many groups, since volunteers are already giving their own time for the cause.

Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen: Living With Conviction in Challenging Times, examines this struggle and finds that it is often easier to volunteer to meet a specific human need than it is to delve deeply into trying to solve the big structural problems that cause those needs.

Join us on Tuesday, May 25, at noon U.S. Eastern time when we will host a live online discussion with Mr. Loeb about the ways social change, social commitment, and volunteerism can feed one another and how nonprofit organizations can lead the way toward broader changes in society.

The Guest:

Paul Rogat Loeb, the author of Soul of a Citizen: Living With Conviction in Challenging Times. He is also a frequent speaker and lecturer on topics such as volunteerism, activism, and social change.
