On June 19, Baby Boomers and seniors are getting together in New York City for the Volunteer Ventures Expo. The Expo is a free one-day conference about volunteering put on by the Jewish Association of Services for the Aged (JASA), in collaboration with UJA-Federation of New York, New York City Department for the Aging, ReServe, Retired Senior Volunteer Program, and Idealist.org.

You can also attend an array of workshops to learn about different ways to volunteer, how to find these opportunities, and what to expect from them.

Idealist.org will be leading a workshop called "The World Wide Web of Volunteer Opportunities," where you can learn how to search for and evaluate volunteer opportunities on the internet, and find out about some volunteer projects that can be done entirely online.
