Are you ready for the new volunteer? The new volunteer is innovative, creative and multigenerational, with a strong cultural identity and readiness to lead and serve. Understanding volunteer trends, communities of color, culture and community engagement are essential to any organization. A multicultural approach to community engagement is a process of building community, relationships and trust with multicultural communities. Multicultural engagement utilizes authentic engagement strategies that create advocates for people, neighborhoods, nonprofits and issues within communities. It is an inclusive, innovative and culturally relevant approach that informs, educates, engages and strengthens communities. Whether you're looking to engage new volunteers (project-based to skill-based), engage board members or develop relationships with multicultural communities, this session will provide the tools you need to get started.
