Ahhh 00:26:32 Carli Jarvis: Helping or doing something for someone or a group is a service... 00:26:32 Madison Collins: Donating time to resolve an area of need in the community 00:26:49 Shirray Burnside: yes 00:27:01 Carli Jarvis: 👍🏽 00:27:08 j beas: yes 00:27:15 Madison Collins: I can’t see it but I’m on mobile 00:28:53 Tina Houghton: what was the ages of survey again? 00:29:37 Anna LePetri: I've seen this quite a bit with my youth volunteers... they downplay the value of the work they've done. It's been so important to me for them to understand how impactful their work is 00:30:28 AK Diefenbach (she/her/hers): there we go! 18-25 is the youth age range in the study :) 00:30:37 Therese Cagle: Agree with Anna. Youth downplay group fundraising as a service 00:30:55 Jason Scott: Seemed like we had more of a disposition to say yes than youth respondents. That said, they are generally aligned proportionally. 00:31:10 Barbara Wilson: I was surprised more by the fact that all of these didn't get 100% by those on this call. 00:31:14 Melissa Sherry: It seems advocacy is downplayed or misunderstood as a form of service. 00:31:17 Bailey Bush: In thinking about calls to action and recruiting volunteers, the messaging is key, so it can be helpful to frame the action in a way that they relate to 00:31:20 Tina Houghton: maybe we need to make the connection for them through education 00:31:23 Amy Stock: I was surprised that protest was considered service. It's a vibe! 00:31:28 Garnett Johnson: Exposure matters 00:31:43 Cara Coates: I feel like youth also often see service work as stewardship work. It's very easy to connect with work where you can see the direct impact, like invasive species removal. 00:31:50 Laura Le: I think youth as well believe that service is doing things outside of what is expected from them. So they typically believe that helping others or doing simple things daily is expected and should be a norm instead of being "service" 00:32:04 Carli Jarvis: *A little differently * yes, I was surprised * youth are a little more inexperienced than the seasoned generation * having an open mind. 00:32:16 Anna LePetri: I agree with you Laura!! 00:32:24 Therese Cagle: can we keep the webinar chat.. there is some awesome communication in here! :D 00:32:35 Tina Houghton: from a university lens, protests can be hard to promote for service, we use "peaceful protests" as a cya 00:32:37 Erin Spink: did youth who didn't feel certain things were not service how they defined it instead? 00:32:46 Garnett Johnson: some just do not see outside their world 00:33:08 AK Diefenbach (she/her/hers): Yes @Therese! Everyone will receive a copy of the recording along with additional resources - the chat is always such a good source of info & connections! 00:33:09 Hanna Bell: I've noticed that youth volunteers who enjoy volunteering don't necessarily see what they're doing as work. It's an opportunity for them to do something they enjoy and they view it as a social event or way to get involved. Since they like doing it, they don't often realize how much of an impact they have unless it's communicated via graphics and testimonials. 00:33:21 Barbara Wilson: Was the question asked why they made the selection they did? 00:33:38 Jessica Winn-Lyannas: Yes I was surprised. Younger adults have perhaps not experienced enough positive change from these last three activities. These things take time, sometimes a long time. 00:33:54 Kendra Cuthbertson: I'm in Gen X, and I tend to consider participating in a formal or structured community service event or organization as Service. Writing to representatives/advocating for causes or attending protests I see as more being an engaged citizen. So this is great for me to see how the younger generations view service. 00:34:33 Mackenzie Hannie: I agree with you Hanna! When our Teens volunteer it is mainly during the summer program instead of individually throughout the year. 00:35:11 AK Diefenbach (she/her/hers): missed the earlier link for the report? here it is again - just in case --->https://expandingleadership.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Leveraging-the-Potential-of-Youth-Service.pdf so much to explore! 00:36:19 Therese Cagle: Go For IT Alli... Make yourself the STAR 🤓 00:37:47 Tina Houghton: 🩷 00:38:22 Tina Houghton: how many students were surveyed? 00:38:48 Robert Doyle: What does "Service is defined more broadly" mean? 00:39:10 Erin Spink: Would love to invite everyone to join a conversation Tracey O'Neill and I plan on hosting in early January via Zoom discussing the "Join or Die" documentary and connecting our work in volunteer engagement with building community and social capital. Please check out this LinkedIn post and share what dates work best for you: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/erinrebeccaspink_join-or-die-a-film-about-why-you-should-activity-7272300547251007488-E3IW?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop 00:39:28 AK Diefenbach (she/her/hers): Curious about the details of these stats? Here's another resource to bookmark --->https://americorps.gov/about/our-impact/volunteering-civic-life 00:39:40 Erin Spink: Very timely given today's conversation! 00:40:24 AK Diefenbach (she/her/hers): Thank you for sharing @Erin! 00:41:00 Elizabeth Cline: Can you give examples 00:41:08 Barbara Wilson: Have there ever been studies done with younger youths? Our Youth volunteers are Middle - High School age. We used to have a waiting list, now we are struggling to get these younger volunteers. 00:42:36 Therese Cagle: Or college buddies have a basketball game to fund special olympics 00:42:37 Anna LePetri: Yes! "Events" instead of "shifts" has been really attractive for my org's youth volunteers 00:42:55 Andi Kiehle: We use younger volunteers to help with creating our Sunshine Committee staff appreciation gift packages. The kids love it 00:43:18 Emily Damstra: Similar to me, Barbra. I think youth volunteers in that age are more so looking for those volunteer hours that they need to fulfill for school or a program. 00:43:39 AK Diefenbach (she/her/hers): oooo good call out @Anna - events vs shifts. the little language swaps can make a bigger difference than you'd think! 00:43:58 Garnett Johnson: ok I can feel that volunteering to do some sort of media activities 00:44:01 Andi Kiehle: We also utilize teens for "sports" at our senior centers with Pickleball and volley ball fun tournaments. 00:44:50 AK Diefenbach (she/her/hers): Looking for some more ideas for engaging with teens, check out this article from our blog here --->https://www.galaxydigital.com/blog/engage-teen-volunteers 00:45:35 Therese Cagle: Bring Food 🥲 00:45:50 AK Diefenbach (she/her/hers): 🍕🩵 00:46:55 AK Diefenbach (she/her/hers): Anyone putting their youth volunteers in the driver seat at your org to expand service opportunities? 00:47:07 Hanna Bell: One way to attract youth is resume building guidance. I like to coach our youth volunteers as they develop their resumes and highlight how their volunteering (especially skill based volunteering) impacts both the community and themselves. 00:47:17 Barbara Wilson: @Emily Damstra - yes, to a point but they can earn volunteer hours for their school requirements and we still have a hard time. It's hard to get the kids that are on the fence without a larger group their own age. Some are a bit shy about volunteering with adults on their own. 00:48:32 Therese Cagle: AK Yes. We have a local CheerLeader at our Local Universities working with AmeriCorps and creating on Demand events for her Group, calling parents, grandparents for Special Olympics fundraising.. It's been quite impressive 00:48:47 AK Diefenbach (she/her/hers): When working at a science museum we had our youth volunteers plan their own appreciation event - it was a huge hit and a great opportunity to build community! 00:49:09 AK Diefenbach (she/her/hers): That's such a powerful story! Thanks for sharing! 00:49:45 Therese Cagle: She started a club and 60 volunteers from her university showed up!! What a voice she has.. 00:50:45 Hannah McClintock: I agree! As Gen Z if you create a space where you can volunteer with a friend or have moments outside of volunteering to make connections and friends you will have a larger turn out. Food, game nights, just fellowship is HUGE! 00:51:23 Therese Cagle: But they did not want to document their hours, so that we could share her success. So i am tryingn to create a training for their engagement and successful demonstration 00:51:43 Therese Cagle: of service 00:52:19 Samantha Machalik Gallagher: Yes! I've started to ask for double the amount of volunteers we need for special events when we ask fro help from high schools or college clubs. This way everyone has a buddy! It's worked out really well and the volunteers seem more engaged and confident when they aren't alone. 00:53:32 Malissa Larson, MNLM: are you able to send the whole slide deck after this presentation? 00:53:58 AK Diefenbach (she/her/hers): Yes @Malissa! :) 00:54:33 Therese Cagle: I want the chat 🥰 00:54:38 AK Diefenbach (she/her/hers): Here's a link to the resource library however we will add more specific links in the follow up --->https://expandingleadership.org/youth-service-resourcelibrary/ 00:55:09 Anna LePetri: Same Samantha!! I've done this too and it's been very effective. And managing the extra people has not been as difficult as I would've expected, because I'm really managing the pair instead of two separate people 00:55:47 AK Diefenbach (she/her/hers): Chat we were just talking about language swaps! Here's some more data on the civic language perceptions from PACE --->https://www.pacefunders.org/language/ 00:56:58 AK Diefenbach (she/her/hers): In a general rut thinking of fun names for your volunteer programs? Here's another great article from the blog to get the creative juices flowing --->https://www.galaxydigital.com/blog/creative-names-for-volunteer-programs 00:57:22 Therese Cagle: Synectic metaphoric organization allows for a more universal design and a more open learning design 00:59:26 Hannah McClintock: Yes! I think inclusivity and open-mindedness not catering to one demographic is important! 01:00:38 AK Diefenbach (she/her/hers): Leading with inclusivity is key! Here's another resource on how to engage across generations --->https://www.galaxydigital.com/blog/engaging-generations-of-volunteers 01:00:44 Emily Stock: We also know that the main reason people don't volunteer or return is because no one asked them. The follow up after someone expresses interest or volunteers once is the most important aspect in continued engagement. Keep asking, goes back to people want to feel needed and useful. 01:01:19 Erin Olson: do you have any resources for starting up a youth volunteer program? 01:01:49 AK Diefenbach (she/her/hers): Thanks for calling that our Emily, no one asked! Anyone have any ideas or ways you're collecting feedback from your volunteers? Bonus points if you have something that's working for the youth! 01:01:56 Shirley Nagg: AMEN, Elisabeth!!! 01:02:43 Therese Cagle: any suggestions? Text Email ?? 01:02:51 Erin Olson: we send our volunteers post-event surveys and email, text, or call them after they volunteer to see how it went 01:02:57 Emily Damstra: We like to follow up after our youth volunteers too and just see how their volunteering went. We ask them to give us a good, better, how about their volunteer experience. Makes them feel valued and appreciated 01:03:25 Therese Cagle: I could not get any reture replies.. 01:03:29 Therese Cagle: return 01:03:36 Garnett Johnson: that's a good idea Emily 01:03:49 AK Diefenbach (she/her/hers): @Erin here's an article on things to think about as you're building a youth program that could maybe help you get started --->https://www.galaxydigital.com/blog/engaging-generations-of-volunteers 01:04:01 Anna LePetri: I have to directly ask for feedback at the end of a volunteer opportunity. Digital surveys have been really unsuccessful for me, even with multiple forms of direct calls to action. I think organic conversation is better, even if over email 01:04:12 Garnett Johnson: may it could be done on the way out? 01:04:45 Therese Cagle: ok.. Keeping it F2F :D 01:05:00 Tina Houghton: do you have a link to the mini grants? 01:05:36 AK Diefenbach (she/her/hers): Want to learn more about how to get paired with a mini grant opportunity?
