encorefellowships host a fellow

Encore Fellows® bring 25+ years of experience in business development, operations, marketing, communications, human resources, information technology, crisis management, and more. Encore Fellowships handles the matching process, which includes screening and provides coaching and resources — helping host organizations establish mentorship and collaboration between the Fellows and other staff.

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 can work remotely, creating 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.
Encore Fellows can help organizations try out proposed permanent positions, fill capacity-building roles, and create or complete strategic projects.

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?

How It Works

Encore Fellows receive a $25,000 stipend for 1000 hours of work, typically part-time for one year. Host organizations cover the stipend and a program fee, craft the fellowship position description and manage onboarding and training for the Encore Fellow. An application is the first step in the process of becoming a host organization. There is no commitment until a match is made and accepted by the Fellow and the host. Once you submit your application, you will receive an email with a link to submit a Fellowship position description. You will then be contacted for further information.
