Encore.org initiatives include The Purpose Prize, for individuals; The Encore Fellowships Network, for private-sector employees transitioning to encore careers; the Encore College Initiative, for higher education institutions preparing people for encore careers; and the Encore Network, a group of organizations supporting the movement.
