Demographic Trends Shaping America and Service |
Beth Steinhorn of VQ Strategies takes 2018 Pew Research results and extrapolates them for volunteer engagement professionals by addressing the following questions: If these trends are shaping our society, how will they affect service and volunteering? How have they already been influencing your organization’s engagement experience and strategy?
The trends highlighted by the Pew Research Center fell into three categories: Generations, Families and Household, and Multicultural Society. |

The age of one-size fits all volunteer engagement is coming to an end. This webinar will start with a review of some of the things that we know about what volunteers are looking for in an opportunity. It will then help you use this information to start designing volunteer opportunities and determining who is the “right” volunteer for your program.
What You'll Learn:
The trends that are influencing volunteer engagement and what that means for your program.
How to create volunteer opportunities that match what volunteers are looking for now.
How to take advantage of "word of mouth" recruitment by understanding what types of volunteers are right for your program.
The role that social media can play in engaging the volunteer of the future.

Millenials and Volunteering: Bridging the Generation Gap |
Every day my LinkedIn feed and various business magazines are filled with articles about Millennials. Generally, the writer advises the reader on how to “manage” this group in the workplace and often seems to have a “these kids nowadays” tone.
Through my work at New York Cares (with staff members and volunteers), I have also been exposed firsthand to Millennial’s great passion for community service. In its report on an Associated Press-GfK poll on December 29 the New York Times gave me data to support my optimism (which is a rare but welcome occurrence). The poll found an increase in young Americans who say that “citizens have a ‘very important obligation’ to volunteer.”
