Program Description
"Higher education can be a key part of preparing for life's encore phase.
To date, 40 colleges have teamed up with the Encore.org Encore College Initiative to create pathways to encore careers in education, health care, social services and the environment. The result? Higher education institutions are creating new opportunities for boomers who want to make a difference in their communities and a salary."
