Northwest Herald | Nonprofits adapt as volunteers change: "Short-term, episodic volunteerism is on the rise.
Baby boomers are not lining up to take the long-term, ongoing volunteer jobs that are ready for them. More schools, churches and community groups are asking their members to volunteer. The episodic line continues to grow.
There is a place for episodic volunteerism. It gives people a chance to experience helping and giving back. It encourages civic responsibility and allows people with busy schedules to continue helping their neighbor.
But are we going too far? Does this trend impact nonprofits?"
