| Annotation | "Innovations profiles the work of creative organisations that engage older Americans in new and compelling ways to revitalize their communities." This volume is part of a series, a documentary project, published by Civic Ventures, and is illustrated throughout with photographs by Alex Harris. This particular volume relates the work, in narrative form, of older retired Americans who volunteer to continue working with food banks, homeless shelters, prison ministries, literacy programmes and other groups that offer services for the poor in their communities. These American volunteers are part of the Ignatian Lay Volunteer Corps (ILVC) which is rooted in the Catholic spirituality of St Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuits. This volume focuses on the work they carried out in the community in Baltimore, Maryland. The ILVC started with 11 volunteers in three East Coast cities in 1995. (KJ). |
