Mapping Your Next Adventure: Engaging Baby Boomers and Seniors in
Volunteerism
Presenters: Tom Linley and Mary Register, Governor’s Commission on Volunteerism
and Community Service
There are many terms used to define people age 50 and older: seniors, elders,
mature, experienced, seasoned - they all mean something different to Baby
Boomers. Mapping Your Next Adventure is a resource guide for volunteers and
volunteer leaders seeking to chart a successful course toward engaging these
generations in service toward making communities stronger, safer, and healthier
and, in the end, leaving the world a better place. For Mapping Your Next
Adventure, we surveyed and talked to volunteer managers across the country who
work with volunteers age 50 to 105 to gain insight into trends and best
practices for engaging Boomer and Senior volunteers. Join us for an engaging
session as we share some successful promising practices, programs, links and
opportunities for recruiting, training, recognizing and retaining volunteers 50
and older. |
