The purpose of this study is to examine the baby boomers` volunteering and whether variables are affecting volunteer role identity and volunteer satisfaction. The sample size of this study is 280 baby boomers who were volunteering. For collecting data, interview methods were used. The target population was selected using ratio sampling of gender based on population census. As for the data analysis methods, to compare two groups depending on gender and job, t-tests were used. For testing the effect of volunteering on volunteer role identity and satisfaction, multiple regressions were used. According to the research results, as their income was increasing their volunteer satisfaction was increasing. Regression results indicated that income and religion affected volunteer role identity. The motives of volunteers such as value, protection and understanding affected volunteer role identity positively and experience affected volunteer role identity negatively in a statistically significant level. The volunteer motives such as experience and social affected volunteer satisfaction in statistically significant level. Since the motives of baby boomers` volunteering affected the role identity and satisfaction of volunteering, volunteering can be an important factor of baby boomers` preparation in the social aspect for older age who are easily isolated.
