"This book fills a distinct void in the literature about service programs that empower youth to make better decisions with their lives all over the world."
– Professor Michael Holosko, Pauline M. Berger Professor of Family and Child Welfare, University of Georgia, School of Social Work, USA.
"This book provides a needed assessment of volunteerism and youth empowerment in a part of the world where these issues are largely unknown, particularly for scholars, students, and practitioners outside of Hong Kong and Asia. The cases and analyses presented here can provide insight for the enhancement of volunteerism in societies around the world."
