Abstract
Chapter Six sums up the previous discussions, considering how awareness of complexity and plurality of thought may affect responses to the changing environment for volunteer involvement. It calls for an open collaborative and respectful conversation about volunteer involvement, including about its negative effects and for reflective volunteer involvement practice to make the relationships on which it is based succeed.
