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.
