Seniors that have been volunteering for a while. New volunteers (baby boomers) want to volunteer but they want to get something out of its more for self interest (paid for lunch, parking etc) So it"s a challenge for the volunteer centre"s to deal with these people. As well a lot of the older volunteers have not been replaced when there are those that can do more. Political clout: - 2 0rganizations that have it. One voice: group in canada, it even deals more on political matters, deals with condition of seniors fraud, elder abuse, affordable housing and transportation. One day she wore a read hat and people really liked it. And from that she started the red hat society . Subway: by 2030 they will be elderly friendly. Crossing the road: 1/3 of pedestrians killed are seniors, we need longer lights for older people.
