Praise for the Book

"The Boomers are challenging all of us to rethink what it means to volunteer. If you are ready to stop managing your volunteers and start enaging them-- this is the book for you!"

Greg Baldwin, President
VolunteerMatch

"One of America's great challenges is that we view the oncoming aging of our population with fear. This book refreshingly offers an alternative frame: that our society will benefit from more of our people having more experience, wisdom, and capacity to share, and that we'll be able to tackle some of our social challenges as never before."

David Eisner, Chief Executive Officer
Corporation for National and Community Service

"Those who adopt the principles in this book will help create a new model for the second half of life, but more important, they will reap the benefits of Boomer energy, experience, and talent to meet their missions. They will reach more children, build more affordable homes, treat more sick people, and engage more allies to support their work. They will be better positioned to succeed."
