Whether you work with volunteers of all ages, some of whom are older adults, or if your organization’s strategy is built on only engaging older adults, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss strategies, brainstorm solutions, and find support and guidance to reshape your older adult volunteer engagement strategy to meet the needs of your organization and the needs of today’s older adult volunteers.

Be a part of a Learning Community designed specifically for leaders of volunteers engaging older adults in student success. Through a series of formal and informal learning events you'll explore how to Inform, Design, Support, and Lead to help you reshape, rethink, and redefine volunteering. Sign up for our mailing list below and be the first to hear about these exciting events.

Designing Recruitment Messaging for Older Adult Volunteers

Thursday, January 22nd | 11:00am Pacific Time/2pm Eastern Time

This workshop will walk you through developing a targeted, compelling recruitment message for an open volunteer role. Targeted messaging helps you attract the right volunteers to help you meet your mission. In this Workshop we'll use the Volunteer Persona you created to develop that target recruitment messaging to reach the perfect older adult volunteer for the role. We'll build on ideas and concepts introduced in the Volunteer Recruitment Workshop Kick Off, and the Volunteer Personas Workshop. Please come with the position description(s) and volunteer persona(s) you've developed and you'll use those to build your targeted Recruitment Messaging. Please plan on attending or watching the recording before joining the Coffee Chat hosted by the Partnership for Student Success where we’ll share and discuss the recruitment messaging you've designed.
