Many organizations relying on volunteers have a unique mix of up to five generations involved in their work – and Generation Alpha isn’t far behind. Join us to uncover how different generations view volunteering, and how you can adapt your approach to maximize participation from members of all generations.

We’ll explore how volunteers from Gen Z, Millennial, Generation X, Boomers and Traditional cohorts are similar and different, and why this matters. In this session, you’ll gain a better understanding of generational characteristics that can help your organization succeed in recruiting and retaining volunteers. You’ll also identify strategies for engaging individuals from each generation as volunteers, consider the impact of age biases in volunteering, and have an opportunity to learn how your peers approach working with members of different generations.

Presenters:
Polly Roach - late Boomer
Mackenzie Albrecht - late Millennial
