Boomer volunteers: what's in it for ME?
| "Boomers are far more interested in volunteering than they're given credit for," Baldwin said. "They're far more interested in using their career and non-career-related skills. They have higher expectations for their volunteer experiences than some of the younger users we're sampling." But many can't find an outfit that engages the full range of their interests, skills and life experience, he said. As more boomers enter retirement age that could bode poorly for nonprofits unless they learn how to provide opportunities that pay off in high volunteer satisfaction.

post a commentBoomers need to wake up to the grave financial problems the U.S. is facing today. Their generation is too big to be selfishly sleeping.
Tell every boomer you know to WAKE UP! Support Ron Paul for President 2008 and restore our constitutional rights before it's too late!
I thought the point of volunteering was to help out the organization with what THEY needed.
You don't go to the GoodWill and ask if you can cook soup.
The boomers are even selfish when they volunteer. It is still all about them.
