"It's like a job. You have goals. You see results" -Yuriy, Experience Corps Member

What's Next?

Overall, we have three major goals in our strategic plan for the next five years, articulated in these three words: Excel, Expand, Lead. Ultimately, Experience Corps strives to create powerful opportunities for older adults to meet society’s challenges today, while paving the way for the Boomers who will follow. Our current activities related to evaluation, training, expansion, and communications all reflect a commitment to this mission.

If you’d like to join us during our next phase of growth, we invite you to learn more about Starting an Experience Corps project, becoming a member in one of our current cities, or donating to Experience Corps.

"The idea behind Experience Corps is to redefine how America sees an aging population: as a resource rather than a burden. And to use this resource to solve America's problems." Philadelphia Enquirer
