The Aspiranet Encore Fellowships Program
The Aspiranet Encore Fellows Program is at the heart of a growing national trend of matching highly skilled, experienced professionals at the end of their mid-life careers with social purpose organizations in order to further their missions.
These paid, time-limited (typically 6 to 12 months, half to fulltime) fellowships deliver new sources of talent to organizations solving critical social problems and serve as an experiential pathway for fellows to transition into the next phase of their career.
Aspiranet, one of California’s largest social service agencies, is the first nonprofit in the nation to establish an internal Encore Fellows program, in partnership with the Civic Ventures’ Encore Fellowships Network. The inclusion of a fellow cohort of such experienced talent into Aspiranet is an innovative model for organizational effectiveness and change. Launched in 2009, the Encore Fellowships program is one of the largest fellowship programs in the nation targeting individuals in their encore careers.
