"Widening Our Horizons"
by Joy Noble
Abstract
At a time of world crisis , this paper calls for proponents of volunteerism
to join together in a rethink of priorities and programs. Managers of
volunteer programs and volunteers are challenged to take a big picture
approach and see volunteerism as a powerful tool in reassessing values
and activities and in building constructive relationships between individuals,
cultures and nations. As we know, volunteering provides citizens with
the opportunity to take the initiative, have a voice and build community.
Actions can be taken which focus attention on values and long-term goals
that are important in life. Some examples of possible responses, covering
a range of interest areas, are given as a starting point for readers who
are keen to widen their horizons and institute initiatives aimed at making
this world a more tolerant, equitable and cohesive society.
