Re-engage for Good

Communities that engage soon to retire baby boomers will reap the rewards of an activist generation that refuses to slow down. Neither young nor old, this generation represents an extraordinary pool of experience and expertise.

They want to serve the greater good.

How do we create new work and volunteer models that appeal to this new generation of retirees? How can we maximize the use of their talent to benefit our community? How can we reduce real and perceived barriers for this generation to continue to be engaged? How do we connect the dots – matching those who want to give back with the critical issues in our community?
