Marc Freedman (Civic Ventures) - 2010 Skoll Awards for Social Entrepreneurship
Marc Freedman founded Civic Ventures ten years ago with the goal of finding caring, committed adults to help young people growing up in poverty—as mentors, teachers and youthworkers. His belief that the vast and growing older population could serve as a critical resource for children led him to spearhead the development of Experience Corps, now a highly successful tutoring and mentoring program helping 20000 children in 23 cities. In the years since, Freedman founded The Purpose Prize, a $100000 award for social innovators over 60. His newest goal is to get millions of boomers to pour their life experience into "encore careers," which combine personal meaning, continued income and social impact. This new and growing workforce for social change could solve some of society's toughest problems -- from education to the environment, health care to homelessness. The Skoll grant will allow Civic Ventures to promote the encore career and make midlife transitions easier, with new continuing education programs, Encore Fellows initiatives and an online community at Encore.org.
