With 80 million Millennials coming of age today, there are a multitude of options to leverage their passion, tech-savviness and entrepreneurial spirit to help support your cause. In many ways, the Millennial generation holds the keys to the future of your nonprofit. Do you know how your organization can engage these Millennials, not just for a day or for one campaign, but as dedicated supporters for life? For the August 2013 Nonprofit Insights webinar, Kari Dunn Saratovksy and Derrick Feldmann, co-authors of the new book "Cause for Change: The Why and How of Nonprofit Millennial Engagement," joined VolunteerMatch.

They shared big-picture strategies for building long-term relationships with Millennials, as well as concrete, actionable tips for engaging them as volunteers, donors, board members and even employees.
