Work, Education, and Voluntarism in the 21st Century.
Densmore, Kathleen
Educational Researcher, v25 n5 p33-37 Jun-Jul 1996

Providing educational services is among the types of work he suggests volunteers should undertake. Education should also prepare people for volunteer work in this proposed "third sector" of employment. (SLD)
