Approaching retirement, yet not ready to step away from being an active and contributing member of society?
78 million Baby Boomers stand to retire from full-time work over the next decade, and many of them are choosing to channel their skills and energy for social good.
For example, Coming of Age, is a program launching in the Bay Area to connect people over 50 with non-profit volunteer and occasionally paid opportunities.
Janet Oh, Co-Director of Coming of Age, says “A lot of the non-profits have had their budgets cut. Many of them have had to layoff staff. In addition to that, the needs of communities are growing even more so places like the food bank are having more demands for food.”
Baby Boomers could help fill a needed niche with non-profit organizations in need of volunteers with business experience.
A Coming of Age volunteer workshop will be held in
