Last week Encore, an organization that helps people transition to second careers in nonprofits or public service, announced its 2009 Purpose Prize winners.
Ten amazing people who are using their lives after 60 to respond to huge challenges in our world and improve the lives of millions of people.
“Ordinary” people – ages 62 to 73 – doing extraordinary things.
From mental health services in war-torn countries to substance abuse recovery for Native Americans to support groups for youth caregivers. And more!
You can learn more about the winners and be inspired by their stories at Encore
These people are definitely not “done” at 60! How about you?

You know what, I’m 67 and am starting not 1 but 3 Internet businesses. One is established and doing fantastic, the other is in the start up phase and the 3rd is in the planning stage. It’s not over until its over!
