ENCORE! Fayette Senior Leadership Program Has an Extended Vision & New Name!
ENCORE! Fayette
Leadership
New name is in response to expanded vision to include those not yet in the  55+/retirement category but desire strategic involvement in volunteer opportunities that would build capacity for local agencies/organizations.

History
The ENCORE! Fayette initiative focused on tapping into a tremendous resource that has been previously undiscovered, the senior population. There are over 15,000 sixty-five plus seniors in Fayette County and that number will grow to over 45,000 by 2030. These seniors represent a vast and often untapped wealth of talent and experience - and this talent and experience is needed and desired by the public and private agencies and organizations in our county. 

ENCORE/Senior Leadership Program was a collaborative effort of our county’s agencies/organizations that either work with seniors or utilize seniors as volunteers. ENCORE, which stands for Retired Leaders Enriching and Nurturing the Community by Offering Resources and Experiences, is an 8 week program designed to provide active, community spirited older adults with the opportunity to learn more about their community; the important issues and challenges it faces; identify the primary community needs and determine how they can become involved and make a difference by helping to shape Fayette’s future.
