A "How to Become a Volunteer" workshop for older adults can provide several benefits that empower them to engage in meaningful volunteer work and contribute to their communities. Here are some key benefits of such a workshop:
1. Expanded social connections: Engaging in volunteer work allows older adults to connect with like-minded individuals, both within their age group and across generations. The workshop can facilitate networking opportunities and provide information on local volunteer organizations and projects, enabling older adults to build new social connections and establish a sense of belonging within their communities.
2. Sense of purpose and fulfillment: Volunteering often provides a sense of purpose and fulfillment, which is particularly valuable for older adults who may be transitioning into retirement or seeking new ways to contribute their skills and experiences.
3. Skill development and learning: The workshop can offer training and guidance on various aspects of volunteering, including effective communication, teamwork, leadership skills, and project management.
4. Community impact: The workshop emphasizes the importance of community involvement and showcases the positive impact volunteers can have on their communities. By participating, older adults gain a deeper understanding of the issues and needs within their communities and learn how their contributions can make a difference.
5. Mentorship and intergenerational exchange: Volunteering can create opportunities for older adults to serve as mentors and share their wisdom and life experiences with younger generations. The workshop can highlight intergenerational volunteer programs and initiatives, fostering meaningful connections between older adults and younger individuals.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
