30 Mar | Volunteer Involvement of the Over 50's | Guest Speaker: Dr Jurgen Grotz
In the late 1990's, the 50+ age group were least likely to volunteer, but before the pandemic, it reversed and they became the most likely to volunteer. We don't yet know exactly what the current situation is, but we can identify key issues that might influence whether and how the 50+ age groups volunteer now and what that means for volunteer involvement practice.
