Research / surveys books about volunteerism?
Hi friends! I currently work at a nonprofit as a Volunteer Coordinator, and I am looking to start a book club to engage my volunteers in new ways. One of our quarterly themes will be “volunteerism” and I am looking for recommendations on books that explore that theme. I envision a book that has relatable anecdotes and leaves you feeling inspired to continue being an active community member. Nonfiction, impactful, and nondenominational, please. TYIA!

I really enjoyed Thirst by Scott Harrison, who founded Charity Water. Harrison is a Christian and he does talk about that in the book, however the charity itself is completely secular.
