This week is National Student Volunteering Week so it only seems fitting to discuss Keeping Gen Z engaged as volunteers. Research by <\/span>Oxfam<\/a> reveals that Gen Z is the most generous in donating their time to charity, followed closely by Millennials. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 63% of respondents up to the age of 25 said they have volunteered for a charity in some way compared to 55% of Millennial respondents. <\/span>The British Heart Foundation<\/a> has also published research that shows that people aged between 16 and 24 are more likely to have volunteered for charities than any other age group. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gen Z are keener to volunteer than other generations because they are very socially conscious and want to positively impact their communities. Volunteering allows them to contribute to a cause they believe in directly. Due to the decrease in volunteers because of Covid-19, older generations are not returning to volunteering. So how can we continue to recruit Gen Z and keep them engaged in volunteering?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Keeping Gen Z Engaged <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Feedback<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gen Z values feedback. In a blog post by Volunteer Strategies<\/a>, it was suggested that an effective strategy for keeping Gen Z engaged was providing them with frequent ongoing feedback. This eases the pressure of an end-of-year review for the volunteers and keeps them updated on how their performance is throughout the year. Gen Z wants to hear feedback on their performance and impact on the organisation as they want to make sure they are making a difference, they want their volunteer work to have meaning and to see the results of their efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology <\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Utilising technology can keep Gen Z engaged, as Gen Z are tech savvy they prefer using technology for communicating. When informing them about their roles, you can contact them using our system. With TeamKinetic<\/a> you can use automated emails, SMS texts and system notifications to always keep in close contact with your volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social Connections <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gen Z volunteers may be more engaged knowing that they will be making friends from their volunteering efforts. Volunteering provides opportunities to meet new people and form relationships with those who share similar interests and values. It’s less daunting going into doing something you’ve not done before knowing you’ll make friends whilst doing it. Alternatively, you could promote to Gen Z volunteers that they can bring their friends along too, this way they aren\u2019t doing it alone and will feel more comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Making A Difference<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gen Z are very socially conscious and want to make a positive impact in their communities and know that they are directly making a difference. Volunteering allows them to contribute to a cause they believe in directly. Gen Z wants their volunteer work to have meaning and impact so allow your volunteers to see the results of their efforts. Highlight the impact that their volunteer work will have and how it will help others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Takeaways…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Due to the decrease in volunteers because of Covid-19, older generations are not returning to their volunteer roles. Therefore we need younger generations such as Gen Z to be fully engaged in volunteering to better retain them. By providing feedback, utilising technology and emphasising the impact they are making on the organisation they can become better engaged. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
