The Volunteers: Mountain Rescue Brings Us Home

A historian explores the surprising connections between two mountain rescue groups on opposite sides of the world. What can we learn from these heroic, volunteer first responders about how to bridge our political differences and build better societies?

This program was made possible by the Reid Hoffman Foundation, with additional support from the Botstiber Institute for Austrian-American Studies, and more than one hundred individual and institutional contributors. A complete list of funders is available at our website thevolunteersdoc.com.
