June has arrived and we are thrilled to commence Summer of Service 2012! In its third year running, our Summer of Service blog series connects and engages a community of DoGooders with fantastic thought-provoking and inspiring guest posts that capture the idea of service from many different perspectives.
Starting Tuesdays in June, we'll be bringing you new voices and insights on service and volunteering from inspiring leaders in the field. If you're a volunteer leader, or someone who cares about making a difference in your community and world, you won't want to miss Summer of Service 2012!
