New Program Ideas:

Coffee & Cafe
“People have looked at the café concept as a way to attract baby
boomers. The décor makes us Starbucks wannabes! It’s modern, and
when you walk in, you know there’s something different,” says Betsie
Sassen, assistant vice president of Mather LifeWay’s community
initiatives. “It doesn’t feel like a place targeting older adults.”

Step 1: Planning Mission Statement
Involve members at all ages
Develop Volunteer Program How can you get all ages interested in volunteering?
Many Baby Boomers like a more active role, than just wrapping silverware.
Define Volunteer Positions What do you need help with that volunteers can provide? Lunch,
Daily Tasks, Planning and Hosting Events, Technology, Advertising?
Describe Positions General Assistant – answer phone, daily sign in
Lunch Assistants
Skill-Specific Volunteers – marketing, hostess
Pro bono Volunteers – physicians or other services that come to the center free of charge
“Volunteers need to
feel productive, do
work that challenges
them, and have an
opportunity to grow.”

Step 2: Recruiting
Use Mass Media (TV, Radio, Newspapers,
Bulletins)
Use Current Volunteers to be advocates
Social Media & Websites
Booths & Exhibits at Events
Partner with schools, colleges, and clubs that
can have students do community service hours
at your center
“Recruiting will also build the public image of your organization.”
