Learning Lab

Coming of Age's signature Learning Lab is "Capturing the Energy and Expertise of People Age 50+." This popular two-day intensive training for not-for-profit professionals focuses on enhancing participants' understanding of differences among generational cohorts, crafting compelling opportunities, creating high impact marketing, and pursuing effective management. Individualized follow-up consultation is provided.


Participants will learn how to:

  • Draw on the talents, skills, and passions of people 50+
  • Craft compelling opportunities that will appeal to baby boomers and their elders
  • Develop effective ways to market opportunities
  • Manage an intergenerational workforce
  • Create a doable, outcomes-driven Action Plan
Who should attend:
  • Volunteer managers interested in recruiting and utilizing the talents of people 50+ to meet their missions
  • Newly-hired staff seeking to understand generational differences in work styles and attitudes
  • Staff from organizations starting up or revitalizing their volunteer programs
  • Personnel responsible for crafting and marketing paid and unpaid opportunities
  • Supervisors managing an intergenerational workforce
Coming of Age trainers are experts at helping you mine the experience of people 50+. In addition to conducting the Learning Lab sessions, they will also offer individualized technical assistance.
 
Comments from recent Learning Lab grads:

What people are saying:
 
"It will change the way I run my volunteer program entirely."

"The training was fabulous and a real eye-opener for me. We will slowly introduce all aspects of marketing, recruiting, and managing."

“My biggest takeaway: understanding characteristics of different generations and how we will need to change our recruitment methods and volunteer opportunities in order to attract and retain Boomers.”

“The Learning Lab was incredibly useful and got us thinking outside the box.”
