CATCH THE SPIRIT

Catch the Spirit

Published by Franklin Watts

CATCH THE SPIRIT: Teen Volunteers Tell How They Made a Difference is composed of the stories, in their own inspiring words, of 20 teens who found fulfillment while doing something great for their community.   The Introduction talks about what makes these kids special, and the Appendix contains tips for making the volunteering experience a positive one, plus many resources.  The stories include a boy who collected a million pennies for charity; a girl who gave kids in wheelchairs their first astonishing experience on a softball field; a girl who raised thousands of dollars to help others who, like herself, have cystic fibrosis; and a girl whose mom died of AIDS and who nows speaks to groups of young people about how to be safe.  

Included on the “New York Public Library 72nd Annual Books for the Teen Age List”
