Synopsis

Les adolescents font généralement du bénévolat parce qu'ils le souhaitent, même avec des exigences de lycée et d'université. Mais l'idéalisme des adolescents, associé à l'énergie et à l'enthousiasme de la jeunesse, n'est souvent pas suffisant pour faire du bénévolat la meilleure expérience possible. Les adolescents (et leurs parents) ont souvent besoin de conseils. Le Guide complet du bénévolat pour adolescents comprend des conseils et astuces pour découvrir ce qui est disponible, comment trouver les opportunités, ce qui sera attendu et quelles sont les prochaines étapes si le bénévolat devient plus qu'une activité à temps partiel.

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
