• Craft compelling opportunities that will appeal people age 50+
• Develop effective ways to market opportunities
• Manage an intergenerational workforce
• Create a doable, outcomes-driven Action Plan

Coming of Age trainers are experts at helping you mine the experience of people age 50+ and will help you think outside the box about what people 50+ can do for you and your organization.

 

What people are saying:

 "It will change the way I run my volunteer program entirely."

"The training was fabulous and a real eye-opener for me. We will slowly introduce all aspects of marketing, recruiting, and managing."

“My biggest takeaway: understanding characteristics of different generations and how we will need to change our recruitment methods and volunteer opportunities in order to attract and retain Boomers.”

“The Learning Lab was incredibly useful and got us thinking outside the box.”

 “Great pacing and delivery!...and thanks for the unbeatable price of the training—makes it accessible to grassroots nonprofits with teeny budgets!”

 “Wish we took this years ago…will recommend to others and network partners.”
