Guide to Effective Compassion

Recognizing the nations most compassionate and effective human service initiatives

"There is not a problem in America that isn't being solved somewhere by someone."

Many have uttered these words, but to date little information is available on where those solutions are and who the people are behind them. Here for the first time, is a resource for those who want to find America's hope for solving long-vexing social problems. Contained in these pages are those who transform the lives of the addicted; who give skills to those without jobs; who provide training for life; who prevent teenage pregnancy; and above all who show that the future can be better than the past. This is far from a definitive guide, but it is crucial - a vital - beginning step in changing the course of giving in America.
