Appendices. 330 $aThe concept and practice of civic service is deeply rooted in America's past, present, and future, and has been a featured component of recent presidential agendas. Yet despite ongoing debates about the methods and values of civic service, no recent book has systematically analyzed the effectiveness and outcomes of service programs in America. Civic Service: What Difference Does It Make? presents a thorough, research-based evaluation of public service programs in the United States. Divided into four key parts, this groundbreaking volume presents original information not found anywhere else. 606 $aLabor service$zUnited States 606 $aNational service$zUnited States 606 $aVolunteers$zUnited States 615 0$aLabor service 615 0$aNational service 615 0$aVolunteers 676 $a361.3/7/0973 676 $a361.370973 700 $aPerry$b James L.$013921 701 $aThomson$b Ann Marie$f1954-$01875676 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972374803321 996 $aCivic service$94486864 997 $aUNINA
