Increasing expenditures for education and a desire to more directly involve the public in the education of children have led many school districts to seek the assistance of school volunteers. This guidebook discusses the growth of the volunteer movement, suggests procedures for establishing an organized school program, and appraises potential problems that might be encountered. An extensive appendix supplements the general text by offering specific suggestions for setting up, promoting, and recognizing volunteerism in the schools. (Author/LD)
