Multigenerational Considerations for Volunteer Engagement (DEC 2/25)
June 08, 2025 12:00 AM
Every generation interacts with volunteering differently, and your approach will vary based on the potential volunteers you're connecting with. This session explores the data, anecdotes and trends of each generation of volunteer to help you prepare and succeed. Plus, we'll explore changing demographics in volunteerism and how that will impact your approach in the future.
Learning Objectives:
- An understanding of the demographic landscape of volunteering by generation
- Toops and tips for engaging key audiences from the youngest volunteers to the oldest
- Considerations for changes to volunteer engagement approaches that prepare for future trends
