Futurecasting: What It Is—and How to Plan for What’s Next
Webinar Held April 30, 2026
What might volunteering look like in the future, and how can organizations start preparing for it today?
In this session, participants were introduced to futurecasting, a practical approach to thinking ahead and making more informed decisions now. Drawing on how the practice is used at AARP, the conversation explored tools such as headwinds and tailwinds, the two-curves framework, and scenario planning to help participants consider how volunteer engagement could evolve under different future conditions.
Viewers will come away with practical ideas for bringing more future-focused thinking into their organizations and communities.
