Encore Fellows Program

Overview

Encore Fellows Sac/Sierra Program
Fellowship matches experienced professionals with appropriate nonprofit organizations

November 29, 2011

Civic Ventures has approved a new partnership between the American Leadership Forum – Mountain Valley Chapter and the Nonprofit Resource Center to bring the Encore Fellows Program to the Sacramento and Sierra regions.

Across the region there is a pressing need to help build capacity in the nonprofit sector. While most of the nonprofit services are a necessity and provide ongoing support in the region’s local communities, nonprofit organizations are challenged with insufficient resources to maintain or build their agencies. By operating an Encore Fellows Program in the region, the American Leadership Forum and the Nonprofit Resource Center will enable these nonprofits to grow and sustain their organizations through Fellow’s high-impact social-purpose roles.
