Transitions - A web page about the second half of your working life
This page was conceived during the 35th Reunion, in response to the question and answer portion of the seminar, "What do I do with the rest of my life? or "Life begins at Retirement?", moderated by Ron Schram. Classmates supported the idea of creating a page with relevant links that would be useful for those who are thinking about transitioning into something else. This page is under development - please contact Gus Buchtel with suggestions for additional links.
The Peace Corps was mentioned by Ed Gringras and Jim Cornehlson as a place where people with our kinds of skills can make a continuing contribution.
From their page: "In partnership with thousands of local nonprofit
organizations VolunteerMatch has built the
nation's most comprehensive and up to date
database of volunteer opportunities. With
VolunteerMatch you can now easily search
thousands of volunteer opportunities by zip code,
category, and date; then signup instantly by email
for those that fit your interest and schedule.
Opportunities are posted directly by local organizations to keep the list of walk-a-thons,
neighborhood cleanups, tutoring dates, building sites, meal services, and other activities
accurate and up to date. The service is free and Powered by You!"
