Encore: Work that matters in the second half of life.

Bridgestar, the nonprofit talent-search firm that specializes in people “bridging” into the nonprofit sector from the corporate world, features an interview with Marc Freedman headlined, “Encore: Finding Meaning in a Post-Retirement Career.”

Freedman explains that a new stage of life is emerging between midlife and traditional retirement: the encore career. It’s a time when people seek jobs that offer not just a paycheck, but also an opportunity to use their skills and experience to contribute to the greater good.

Bridgestar “helps create strong, effective nonprofit organizations.” Freedman is the founder and CEO of Civic Ventures, publisher of Encore.org.
