The consumers of your volunteering are changing:
• More older people, less younger people
• More wealth and more leisure time
• More complicated lives in just about every sense e.g. families
• More choices in just about every aspect of their lives
• Increasingly used to being in control of those choices
• Used to instant gratification – e.g. delivery in 24 hours not 28 days

The Obama campaign and volunteering
© nfpSynergy 26
• Obama benefited enormously from the work of legions of grass-roots organisers who gave heart and soul to his White House bid.
• Obama's successes in the early primaries owed much to the tactics and initiative of field organisers
• Obama has taken social media (sending millions of texts to get people to appear at rallies, and also to make campaign-related announcements) and turned it to his advantage. These media can create snowball effects and do the work for you
• Obama had a strong message with achievable goals
