Gen Z Volunteerism
FREE ONLINE EVENT FOR FUTURE OF GOOD MEMBERS
This webinar will explore what drives Gen Z volunteers and how non-profits can attract and retain youth volunteers for the long haul, as well as dispel common misconceptions about what drives this up-and-coming generation.
Why it matters
Engaging youth volunteers could be the key to solving volunteer shortages in Canada's charitable sector. But how best to recruit and keep Gen Z volunteers is up for debate.
Key questions to be addressed:
- Getting a broader sense of why this demographic matters.
- What is Gen Z looking for in a volunteer opportunity?
- What incentives resonate with Gen Z? (Mentoring, rewards/recognition)
- What can Gen Z volunteers teach and guide older generation volunteers?
- What barriers do Gen Z volunteers face, and how can they be eliminated?
- What do non-profits get wrong (and right) when it comes to recruiting youth volunteers?
- What are the long-term benefits of bringing in Gen Z? Can they bring volunteer numbers up to pre-pandemic levels?
- What misconceptions hinder non-profits looking for Gen Z volunteers? Or turn off youth who might otherwise donate their time?
