Hi Everyone,
I've heard from so many incredibly talented professionals that although they've dedicated their careers to doing great work for wonderful companies, they feel something is missing.
They want their work to have more intrinsic value — to make a positive difference in the world in a more direct way.
You can do just that through Encore!
I want to share this important organization with our KIT List community. Please also pass this on to friends and colleagues!
This is an excellent opportunity for mid- to late-career professionals looking to contribute their skills to the social impact sector of non-profits and government organizations.
There are Encore Fellowships that match seasoned professionals with high-impact, paid assignments.
Encore Fellowships provide a match to an organization needing your talent.
Fellows provide capacity-building expertise to non-profits to strengthen their organizations.
Some of the Many Benefits:
- Explore the social impact sector, learn how to transfer your skills to a new career path.
- Earn a paid stipend of $25,000 for 1,000 hours of work, typically part-time for a year.
- Receive education, establish new contacts and create a personal network, and join a cohort of peers.
Since 2009, thousands of Encore Fellows have provided over 2 million hours of service, at a fraction of their market value, contributing the equivalent of more than $200 million to not-for-profit organizations in over 50 metropolitan areas.
A Few Examples of Experts Needed
The Silicon Valley region has some of the following needs from host organizations. New positions are constantly added and skills in IT, operations, finance, marketing and HR are all needed, so be sure to check their website!
