I think the point is that, as volunteer managers, we have to be aware of the needs of the volunteers – the mission and vision of the organization – and put it together to make a match.

The past generation was very forgiving if they weren’t in a position they wanted to be in – they seemed to accept it. Today, that is not the case. There are too many choices, too much going on so people are not willing to make a commitment – just to be committed to something. There is a commercial out now about commitment – don’t like the wife, find a new one – don’t like your job – find a new one – don’t like your nose – change it. It’s so true.

Sharing of ideas and experiences with various volunteers’ ages really helps me a lot.
