Summary
For many nonprofit organizations, volunteers have served a vital purpose in roles ranging from administrative to facility management. Recruitment and retention of volunteers has remained consistent over the past several decades. With an aging population and the reality of baby boomers entering the next phase of their lives, new ways of recruiting these mature, skilled individuals as volunteers are emerging.
