Coming of Age

A friend just sent us information about Coming of Age---www.ComingofAge.org. Coming of Age is an initiative to promote volunteering, learning, and community leadership for people age 50+. The website is designed to provide stories of transitions, volunteer opportunities, learning opportunities, life planning information, and a calendar of events.

They hope to help people 50+ make plans for the future and make a difference in their communities. Additionally, they help nonprofit staffs recruit age 50+ volunteers, and train/retain their volunteer pools.

People 50+ can be a powerful resource to employers, nonprofits, and communities in general. Leveraging our talent for future good makes so much sense.

Have you thought about where you can help? You can have great impact that will benefit individuals, organizations or your broader community.
