A team of researchers from the Adult and Lifelong Learning program at the University of Arkansas is interested in the experiences of volunteers involved in the CAC docent program. Specifically, the team would like to learn more about how skilled volunteering programs foster ongoing identity development for retirees.
If you are a docent who is 55 years of age or older, who is retired from a previous career, and who has been volunteering with the CAC for approximately one year or more, we invite you to participate in this study. You can participate in one of two ways. One of the researchers, Julie Galliart, will be in Chicago on September 24th to facilitate small-group discussions at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Up to ten participants could join either timeslot. If you are unable to join a group on September 24, then an individual interview could be arranged over the phone or through an online meeting software.
Please contact Julie Galliart, jg*******@ku**.edu, to RSVP for a small-group discussion or to arrange an individual interview.
