OUR BIG IDEA

Turning Experience into Change

Dear Fellow Elders,

Many of us want to take action in these perilous times -- but most of us are unsure where to begin.

We have three big ideas to get you started:
  • Get inspired through exploring the stories of proven social entrepreneurs. 
  • Get strategic by approaching existing problems in unconventional ways. 
  • Get creative by enjoining "the physics of changemaking" with the generations that follow.  

Your Next Step is to put these three ideas to work for you through participating in our Changemaker Workshop © -- a guided, small-group experience where elders learn how to "make a map, mind the gaps and build an app" -- all leading to a personal action plan.  You'll enjoy the company of fellow budding social entrepreneurs and leave with practical tools and some momentum. 

When you begin to internalize these three big ideas, you'll begin to realize what we call "elder power" -- our role as conveners across generations. 


In the meantime, you're welcome to browse this website, for it is jam packed with all kinds of resources and stimulating ideas.  

And to learn more, come to our weekly Friday Open Office Hour (Noon ET / 9am PT on Zoom) for a short introduction, Q&A, and a taste of how we work.


To sign up for our office hours and to receive our  Changemaker Workshop ©  Schedule, email [email protected].

Best regards,
Clint Wilkins, Founder — Turning Experience into Change
