Encore.org is an innovator, catalyzing change in culture, institutions and leadership to mobilize adults 50+ as a force for social good. We aim to shift the cultural norm of what is expected in midlife and beyond. We are a hub and champion of the encore movement - tapping the experience of people in the second half of adulthood to solve society's biggest problems. Our work is animated by a single powerful question: how can society best tap the talent, skills, and experience of the rapidly growing older population to solve significant social problems, make life better for future generations, and improve the lives of older people in the process? Through an inventive program portfolio, marketing, communications, research, and strategic alliances, encore.org demonstrates the value of experience in solving society's greatest challenges. We are increasingly focusing our work on the value of intergenerational opportunities to make the social change we are striving to achieve.
