It's the New Year and we are implementing a weekly Friday wrap-up to highlight what we think are most interesting articles we've come across social media. Check back with us every Friday to find interesting, inspiring, knowledable papers, and topics surrounding volunteering and social good each week.  Feel free to email us the topics you want to read more about and we will try to make sure the Friday round-ups have information relevant to topics you want to read about.
