Marci Alboher asks, "What will your second act be?," at Round Hill
Marci Alboher is a VP at Encore.org, a nonprofit making it easier for millions of people to pursue second acts for the greater good.
October 27, Round Hill Community Church will host a discussion with Marci Alboher, a Vice President at Encore.org, one of the nation’s leading authorities on career issues and workplace trends. Marci will introduce Encore’s fast-growing initiative, Generation to Generation (Gen2Gen).
Gen2Gen is a diverse, action-oriented community of people who believe that experience matters and that the goal of later life isn’t trying to remain young; it’s to be there for those who actually are, because every child deserves a web of support and every older adult has something to give. The campaign shines a light on the mutual benefits of intergenerational relationships already happening, and features countless opportunities for people to get involved. For the next few months, Gen2Gen Reads will encourage people to volunteer with literacy partners eager for 50+ help, while raising the funds to donate 1,000 new books to Head Start centers.
Round Hill Community Church is poised to match interested adults with opportunities to serve here, near, and far. Join us to learn more about Faith in Action and the Gen2Gen initiative, and to browse the many volunteer opportunities that are available through our Church community.
