Volunteer website for the older adult

Abstract

Introduction: The need for volunteering has always been high, and the desire to volunteer has also been equally as significant especially for those who have retired or are nearing retirement. For those in the senior age group, volunteering is one way to give back to the community and to stay active. In this particular study, the ages of the participants ranged from 55 to 70. With this in mind, a prototype website for this particular age group was created that easily and efficiently found volunteer work around the area in which the individuals reside. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
