For the first time in U.S. history, people over 60 outnumber people under 18, raising fears of widening generational divides. Encore.org sees another path — a more-old-than-young society that works for all generations. By accelerating intergenerational solutions to pressing social problems from literacy to loneliness, Encore.org bridges divides and collaborates across generations to create a better future together. 

Encore.org was founded on the belief that the aging of America isn’t so much a problem to be solved as it is an opportunity to be seized. For 20 years, they've worked to change cultural expectations for the years beyond 50 and spark a movement around second acts for the greater good.

In their own second act, they see that intergenerational connection can help us solve critical problems, bridge divides, bring joy to the second half of life, and help all ages thrive. they work is now focused on these intergenerational solutions.
