Encore career

An encore career is work in the second half of life that combines continued income, greater personal meaning, and social impact. These jobs are paid positions often in public interest fields, such as education, the environment, health, the government sector, social services, and other nonprofits. Encore Fellowships, created in 2009 by the nonprofit Encore.org, are designed to transition highly experienced professionals from the corporate sector into encore careers in the social sector.
