Moving Lives Forward Podcast 01: Want Impact....Try This!

Nonprofits tackle some of the most intractable problems in our society. They do this typically under-resourced but with great passion for their mission. What do they do when they need a specific professional skill to build more mission capacity?

Here’s where the encore movement comes in. It’s a phenomenon that’s been gathering momentum for a decade as part of a renewed cultural focus on the social impact that older, experienced professionals can have. With their specialized knowledge and years of experience, these pro bono professionals have the potential to be a huge boon to nonprofits seeking expert help.
