Introduction

Modern social justice agencies face many challenges, including restricted staff capacities, high demand for services, great need in the community, and limited funding support.

One solution to these concerns is found by connecting with seasoned professionals; in particular, with the highly skilled Boomer population that is just beginning to retire.

The benefits of a partnership between these two groups are many: organizations achieve their missions with enhanced human resources; these volunteers have an opportunity to use their time, talent, and wealth to make an impact in their community; and the community as a whole enjoys the advantages of the work done by these agencies with the support of such volunteers.
