Encore Leaders helps Maine people get fresh air while giving back

Most of us have somebody in our lives looking to be more active, or who want to volunteer but aren’t exactly sure how to go about it — for those Mainers 50 years and up, Encore Leadership Corps is an organization helping people do just that, and they’ve got a great new website to ring in 2012.

Encore Leadership Corps works to connect elder adults in Maine with fun, rewarding, and active volunteer opportunities in Maine’s local organizations, communities, and businesses. Encore Leaders volunteers might be found cleaning up local waterways; helping to groom cross country ski trails; or helping hand out clothing or food at a local community outreach center. Whatever the task, Encore Leadership Corps makes it easy for elder adults to connect with fun, safe activities right in their own neighborhoods.

The Encore Leadership Corps website makes it easy for adults to learn more about the types of activities available; includes an online application, and features a volunteer map showing the reach and impact of volunteering in Maine.

For the staff of Encore Leadership Corps, keeping the new website fresh is simple thanks to WordPress, web-based software for managing the website’s content, news, and other features.
