The Benefits For Host Organizations
Encore Fellows are an effective pipeline for skilled talent. They bring decades of work experience, a strong sense of responsibility, and the ability to plan and execute projects.
Encore Fellows make up a large pool of experienced, available talent from which to choose.
Encore Fellows bring new perspectives and emotional maturity, often adding age diversity to their teams, along with the opportunity for co-mentoring.
How It Works
Each Fellowship consists of 1,000 hours of part-time work over a year, focused on advancing your
organization’s mission-critical initiatives. Work can be remote, onsite, or hybrid.
To reduce administrative complexity, Encore Fellowships manages all employment-related
responsibilities — including payroll, taxes, compliance, and benefits.
Host organizations are invoiced a one-time placement fee and an hourly rate which includes the fellow’s
pay and administrative costs — allowing you to focus on impact, not paperwork.
The challenge and opportunity with the Encore Fellowships program is really this: How can you utilize the skill set of someone that’s coming with more experience than many of your staff and maximize what they bring?
