Boomers Look to 'Encore' Careers

Larry Hara, 56, an engineer at Intel in Cupertino, Calif., isn't ready to retire, but he wants a break from his high-pressure job. Like many boomers, he wants to use his talents to make a difference. Hara will get a chance to take that step without walking off a cliff. In conjunction with Civic Ventures, Intel will match interested workers with nonprofits, where they'll work for six months to a year. Intel retirees admitted to the Encore Fellowship program will get a $25,000 stipend and health insurance. (This article also ran in The Vancouver Sun.)
