CHAP CLARK ABOUT THIS NEW GENERATION OF VOLUNTEERS:
"Leading volunteers has always been among the most vital tasks in ministry. Yet as society has
changed, and people's lives have become more chaotic and fragmented, the task of leading leaders
has never been more challenging. In The New Breed, Tom and Jonathan McKee offer us all a
comprehensive, thorough and usable handbook for equipping and training volunteers in today's hectic
world. Well researched, solidly grounded and filled with practical tips and tools, The New Breed is
sure to become the standard for raising up and leading a new generation of volunteers."

What others are already saying about this incredible new book:
"I found The New Breed: Understanding & Equipping the 21st Century Volunteer
more than a little enlightening. The information the McKees share is current, thorough and updated.
Their style of writing is hopeful and they offer clear, step-by-step procedures and processes, answering
many of the "whys" along the way. Their advice is eye-opening and thought-provoking. I believe this
book would be equally valuable and beneficial to business and volunteerism."
Zig Ziglar
Author and Motivational Teacher
"I've never met a youth worker or anyone else in ministry who has a problem with getting too
many volunteers. It's not because of a lack of people, rather the problem seems to lie in the
approach. That's why The New Breed should be required reading for anyone in a position
of recruiting, training, and managing volunteers. The McKee dynamic duo takes this complex
and challenging subject and lay it out in understandable and practical terms. Be careful, though
- because if you put this book into action, you just might have too many volunteers!"

"If you want to better understand how to attract, inspire and guide the modern volunteer read
Jonathan and Tom McKee's, The New Breed. Drawn from real world experience this highly
entertaining and easy to read book is an excellent contribution to nonprofit management literature.
I recommend it highly."
Dan Taylor
Vice President

"Jonathan and Tom have teamed together to present a very practical and fun book to read. I
cannot think of anything more important in ministry or business than volunteers. The book
contains not only valuable ministry enhancing principles but is also filled with stories of real
people. The resources section alone is worth the price of the book."
Les Christie
Chair, Youth Ministry Department
William Jessup University
"Tom McKee and his son Jonathan, have created a wonderfully insightful book to help
us all understand and co-create the new world of volunteerism. Every volunteer manager in
this country is facing the need to stop doing business as usual and re-think their approach
to all aspects of volunteer management - recruiting, rewarding and retaining volunteers. The
paradigm has shifted and we must adapt. Tom gives great sage advice in his new book,
The New Breed: Understanding & Equipping the 21st Century Volunteer and I
love the counterpoint of the fresh, new ideas and approaches suggested by his son. Not only is their
banter back and forth very realistic - it's also very loving and fun - making this book a sure
way to get inside the heads of the newest generation. Volunteer managers everywhere need to get
this book - it's filled with great suggestions for changing the way we do our work.
Congratulations to this new dynamic duo!"

"The world of volunteerism has changed a lot over the past ten years and the McKee's definitely
get it. In this very practical leadership book, they have perfectly described today's ‘new breed' of
volunteers and reveal recruiting secrets that will not only help you build a team but keep it together
for a long long time."
Wayne Rice

Founder, Understanding Your Teenager Seminars
"People and money. They are the two undeniable building blocks of any organization, and it sure
seems to me that over the past few decades money is the easier one to find. This book is a practical,
readable, usable tool box of outstanding training on this new generation of volunteer. It speaks to the
most challenging and critical aspects of our work with people with clarity and wisdom. The New
Breed will be sitting on the desks of all of our staff as soon as I can get my hands on it!!"
Dan Jessup
Regional Director
Young Life Pikes Peak Region
"Articulate and succinct, the McKees have captured the essentials of recruiting, training, retaining,
and occasionally even firing volunteers. They unravel the often conflicting motivations of different
generations of volunteers. The easy to read text is loaded with illustrations and helpful, handson
tools that can be immediately put to work. A must read for anyone who wants to manage a
successful volunteer program."
Stephen E. Drew
Chief Curator
California State Railroad Museum
"Working as a Volunteer Coordinator for a leading volunteer center can be inspiring, motivational…
and challenging. The New Breed: Understanding and Equipping the 21st Century
Volunteer prompted me to revisit our mission and clarify my passion for providing effective
opportunities for the modern volunteer. The all too true-to-life case studies conjured several "ah-ha"
moments which allowed me to fine-tune my techniques to make sure I deliver the best experience
possible for my valued volunteers."
Christine Wallace
Community Resources Coordinator
Volunteer Center of Sacramento
"I have not seen a more effective book on working with volunteers. The New Breed is practical,
relevant, and the generational insight of a Father/Son team is very helpful. I highly recommend
this book."
Jim Burns , Ph.D.
President, HomeWord
"Excellent book! It's packed with practical advice on how to recruit, motivate and retain
volunteers as well as how to keep them happy and productive. It's a quick read and well worth
every minute of your time."
