The Adventures in Public Service (APS) project has been designed to encourage as many people as possible to engage in public service work, whether full or part time, early or late in career, part of a non-profit, a for-profit organization, or on an individual basis. It presents the experiences relevant to public service activities of a number of people of different backgrounds.


The writings by participants in the project are presented in alphabetical order by authors' names, as indicated in the Table of Contents, which follows. Not all written contributions to the project are presented at this time. They, and additional contributions which are being developed, will be posted as soon as possible.
