Update: Hands On's Life By Design Program

Last month, Hands On announced the beginning of our new Life by Design program aimed at engaging Boomers and older adults in civic engagement. Since then, interested Boomers and non-profit partners have connected with us, expressing their passion and needs regarding this movement of Boomers who are increasingly focused on giving-back to our communities with their knowledge and gifts.

As I talk with folks about our program, I realize how aware and invested Portlanders are in this cultural shift. There are many experienced and innovative organizations such as, RSVP, AARP and Life by Design NW already dedicated to assisting Boomers in creating our lives with positive intention. Knowing this, I am grateful for the abundance of creative opportunities in greater Portland. This collective focus definitely empowers the movement. As usual, Portlanders help to lead the way!

Get directly involved with Life by Design NW through volunteering with their October Encore Careers series >>
