SENIOR TIME BARTER SERVICE EXCHANGE
The retirement community is a vast warehouse of knowledge and experience. The desire to help others less fortunate is a major motivation for seniors to volunteer. Giving back to society, either financially or socially, are also major motivations for volunteerism among seniors. Over one-third of senior volunteers reported that they volunteered because they wanted to give back to society some of the benefits they received individually. Senior citizens make up an increasing proportion of the population of this country. Currently, seniors comprise approximately 21 percent of the residents of the United States. This number is only going to increase over the next twenty to thirty years as the almost 79 million members of the "Baby-Boomer" generation mature. With retirement coming earlier to many in this group, senior citizens today are active, involved, and interested in helping whether it be through charitable contributions or volunteer time.
