  • Are you making the most of your second chapter?
  • Are you bored and restless after starting your “retirement”?
  • Are you stuck in a job or struggling to find a new way to earn income?
  • Are you ready to use your skills and experience in a different way?

Making the most of your next chapter in life does not always happen naturally or easily. There are essential steps you can take to ensure a smooth transition into a more purposeful and fulfilling life!

Encore Tampa Bay’s mission is to CONNECT you to the resources, individuals and organizations that will help you in taking these first steps:

  • DISCOVERY – Discover what has meaning and purpose at this stage of life
  • RETOOL – Retool their skills for whatever their second chapter might look like:  Starting your own business, searching for a new job, looking for alternatives jobs such as freelance and consulting.
  • CONNECT – Connect the individual to the opportunities of engagement and work in either the profit or nonprofit community.
  • ENCORE ENGAGE – Connect to like minded people who are on the same journey to find their “encore” through social networking and online community building.
