Retirement is a goal for many individuals as they complete their careers and provides the opportunity to define a new lifestyle. Many retirees find with the freedom of retirement they have time to pursue new interests and to apply their life skills in ways that can keep them active and socially engaged. In every community there are numerous non-profit organizations that rely on volunteers to carry out their mission. Our research investigates how retirees find volunteer opportunities that can provide them with the satisfaction of "giving back' and also enhance their well-being and resilience as they grow older.
