Library and Community Partners Present Workshop for Volunteer Coordinators on Engaging a New Generation of Volunteers

Monterey Public Library, in partnership with the City of Monterey, the Monterey Bay Aquarium and California State Parks invites volunteer coordinators from agencies across the Peninsula to participate in a workshop on how to engage baby boomer generation volunteers led by volunteer expert and author Jill Friedman Fixler, on Thursday, August 6, from 8:30 a.m. - 4 p.m., in the Ferrante Room, at the Monterey Conference Center.

Baby Boomers make up one-third of our local community.  The members of this powerful generation (born 1946 - 1964) are now prime ages for volunteering. This workshop is designed to help your agency engage this next wave of volunteers, to make the shift from volunteer management to volunteer engagement and to increase your organization's capacity with high-impact volunteers.

Copies of Ms. Friedman Fixler's book Boomer Volunteer Engagement: Collaborate Today; Thrive Tomorrow will be available for purchase at the workshop.

Admission is free, but pre-registration in required.  To sign up call 831.646.5602 or e-mail Labeaune@ci.monterey.ca.us.  The Monterey Conference Center is located at 1 Portola Plaza, Monterey, California.
