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.
